    Cut and Come Again Cake
    6oz/175g butter
    12oz/340g self raising flour
    1 tsp mixed spice
    4oz/110g soft brown sugar
    8oz/225g mixed dried fruit (sultanas, currants, raisins, mixed peel, cherries)
    3 eggs (beaten)
    3 tbsps milk

    Grease and line an 8 inch/21 cms cake tin with baking paper. Rub the butter into the flour until it’s like breadcrumbs. Add the mixed spice, sugar and mixed dried fruit. Add the beaten eggs gradually and then the milk until well mixed. Turn the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Bake in the centre of a preheated oven 160C, gas mark 4 for about 1¼ -1½ hours. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire cooling rack.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    This sultana cake recipe is extremely easy to make and I absolutely love it. It' actually my favourite cake to eat and I make it all the time.

    Making mistakes is not the end of the world, though it often feels that way!
