Fruit Cake - Quick & Easy Recipe - Don't wait months for it to mature!!!

This is a simple cake to make and delicious to eat. Perfect for Christmas or just any time of the year.

A lot of people (including myself) make their fruit cakes several months in advance to give them time to mature. If you haven't got that time, you can whip up a quick fruit cake that is ready to eat same day and will save you time and effort. All you need to do is heat your dried fruit in alcohol until the fruits start to become plump, then blend most of them for even distribution in the cake.

Watch the video to see how easy it is!

I use cranberries, glace cherries, sultanas and mix fruit (with peel etc). Be generous- you can even add 400g of dried fruit if you prefer.

I hope you give this recipe a try!!

1. Mix butter/marg and sugar until fluffy
2. Add treacle and vanilla then mix
3. Add eggs, orange zest, flour and spices then mix
