| 1. Line a 8-inch round, or 7-inch square tin with 3 layers of paper. | 2. Having said that, I find it easier to line it with one, then wrap the OUTSIDE of the tin in several layers of newspaper, tied with kitchen string. | 3. Weigh and measure ingredients. | 4. Sift flour salt and spices. | 5. Cream butter and sugar. | 6. Gradually add the eggs to the creamed mixture. | 7. Mix well. | 8. It may look a bit curdled at this stage, but that's OK. | 9. Add the fruit, nuts, then the flour and liquid. | 10. Stir gently and thoroughly. I do this with my (clean) hands. | 11. Place in the prepared tin, hollowing out the centre a little to allow for rising. | 12. You can decorate the top with blanched whole almonds now if you wish. | 13. Bake in a 325°F oven (decreasing the temp gradually as the cake cook) for 3- 3 1/2 hours. | 14. When baked, leave in the tin for at least 10 minutes before turning out-until completely cold is better though. | 15. This is good made in about October, and stored wrapped in foil in an airtight container until Christmas. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
