    Hello Truly Madly, Your cake looks amazing! I used to make almost the same recipe, but now do it with a whole pack of mixed fruit, about half a pint of cold tea but NO SUGAR. I add the egg in the morning with the SR flour and a half teaspoon of baking powder and cook in a ring mould for about 40 minutes at 150 degrees. Shorter cooking time in a ring mould, so nice and moist. Some chopped crystallised ginger is good in it too. I found cutting out the sugar was fine as long as you don't have a sweet tooth, and the cake tastes great for breakfast spread with a little butter. If you find it isn't sweet enough you can always do what the Dutch do and sprinkle a little icing sugar onto the buttered slice at the table. Well you can't have a completely virtuous recipe!

    Hmm. I think I need to go and make a big pot of earl grey tea and find my fruit.......

    Hi Emily,

    Thank you for this. I make one of these every week. DH can't eat enough of it but will try cutting down on the sugar. Next week I'll cut it down by a couple of ounces and see what it tastes like and see how far I can go down each week.

    I add nuts sometimes, cherries and mixed peel for variety:)

    the £5 M&S vouchers were available instore before xmas. Some stores might still have them, but I haven't seen them anywhere. I have a spare set you can have :)

    Thank you very much for the offer, that is very kind. I think the dine in deal is only on until tomorrow though, unless anyone knows otherwise. I was hoping to find a nice overpriced chicken and get a bit off the shopping like (sorry can't remember who) someone did the other day. As they said they only paid £13 for all their shopping and that sounded good to me.

    Now back off I go to catch up x

    ...we're waiting for some snow down south, but it looks like rain rain and maybe some more rain. Hope those of you with snow can enjoy it!

    Would strong coffee work in recipe please Truly because i cant drink tea ? :)
    I don't think coffee would be so good in this recipe. If you don't like tea you can use fruit tea, diluted squash or even just water, with a teaspoon of black treacle for colour (if you have it/want it) and maybe some grated orange rind if wished. Come to think of it coke would probably work too!
