Alternative fruit cake idea

[Roset16]

Hi. I've spent the morning trying out two recipes and thought I would post a photo of them.

The sliced cake is a really interesting recipe Zest posted 9 days ago. Full of seeds, mixed dried fruit, cherries and bananas -I used an egg in my version. It is a recipe adapted from one by Ruth-canal-runner. Many thanks. It is delicious.

The tea loaves, still in wraps, is a really easy recipe courtesy of Bero and can be found at be-ro.co.uk

It is called Brack and I have altered the recipe to make it with only 300g of mixed fruit instead of 425g. I cut it into 12 slices,-around 140 cals a slice. It freezes well. Delicious with a cup of tea and not too sweet.

Hi Roset16 ,

It is very exciting to see your cakes - and they look amazing! I am going to look at the Brack recipe - it looks great.

Like you say, delicious with a cup of tea - I'm going to tag Hidden so she can be sure to see your lovely post.

I'm glad you like it, and yours looks so good! I've copied and pasted the Brack recipe too - for my file of nice recipes, many thanks!

You're welcome. By the way if you make it with different sugar it can give quite a different flavour. - worth experimenting.
