Amazing Fruit Cake - Great for Christmas and VERY forgiving

Hi Guys!

I hope you're enjoying the festive season so far.

This is a Christmas cake (fruit cake) that I've been making for 2 decades! It's really lovely and very forgiving so great for people who don't bake often.

Note: you'll probably get a little curdling when you add the eggs. DON'T WORRY it's ok and the cake will still turn out :)

You will need:
350g self raising flour +25g
250g butter/margarine (I prefer marg)
250g soft brown sugar
5 eggs (250g)
2-3 tablespoons black treacle
2-3 tablespoons rum/flavouring (use a spiced or dark rum if using alcohol)
1 lemon
3 tablespoons spices such as mixed spice- I have used mixed spice and cinnamon but nutmeg is also great (don't just use nutmeg though)
300g dried fruit - I have used sultanas, mixed fruit and glacé cherries
-You'll need baking powder if you don't use self raising flour

TEMP:You need to bake this cake at a low temperature. If your oven tends to run a little hot, lower the temp by 10-20 degrees. If your cake is browning too quickly, cover the cake in foil. You can bake the cake with the foil one the entire time if need been or just lower the temp.

Mix it up - go with 2 limes instead of lemon!
Add different mixed fruit to make it what you want.
You can even add a few nuts.
