Recipe
Required ingredients:
1kg cake mix
300g eggs (approx 6 large)
500ml water
Mixed fruit (we recommend 1.2kg sultanas, 170g glazed cherries and 130g mixed peel, soaked overnight in alcohol such as rum).
Method
Blend cake mix, eggs and water together and mix on a low speed for one minute whilst scraping down.
Turn mixer up to medium speed and blend for 3 minutes.
Add mixed fruit and peel, blending on low speed for 1 minute or until combined.
Bake at 160-170 degrees. Baking time depends on whether you make one large cake or split the mix into multiple smaller tins. Check smaller 6inch round cakes at approx 1 hour. Large 10inch square tins, check at 2 hours. Cake is ready when a cake tester comes out clean.
