Ingredients

  • 100g Almonds
  • 180g Butter
  • 180g Muscovado Sugar
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • 3 tbs Apricot Jam
  • 225g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 100g Ground Almonds
  • 2 tbs Milk
  • 500g Dried Fruit
  • 100g Glace Cherry
  • 1 tbs Milk
  • 2 tsp Caster Sugar

Instructions

1
Put the almonds into a small container and stream in over boiling moisture to just put a lid on.
2
Leave for 5 mins then strain in a sieve and leave to arid.
3
Preheat the oven to 180C/160 C fan/Gas Mark 4.
4
Line a deep loose-based 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
5
Put the margarine in a large container and beat well until soft.
6
stream in in the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
7
mix gently in the orange zest and apricot jam.
8
Sieve together the baking flour and baking dusting seasoning.
9
stream in in the eggs to the creamed margarine and granulated sugar, a little at a time, beating well between each addition.
10
If the mixture starts to curdle, mix gently in a little baking flour.
11
stream in in the remaining baking flour and ground almonds and mix gently well.
12
mix gently in the whole milk and then stream in in the dried fruit and cherries and mix gently gently together.
13
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and spread level using the back of a spoon.
14
Arrange the whole almonds close together in neat circles on the top of the cake.
15
bake in the oven for 45 mins.
16
Lower the oven temperature to 160C/140 C fan/Gas Mark 3 and bake for a further 60–80 mins.
17
Check the cake after 50 mins by inserting a wooden or metal skewer into the cake.
18
When it’s done it should have just a few crumbs attached.
19
Check every 10 mins - it’s important not to overcook this cake so the centre will be a little soft.
20
When cooked, remove the cake briefly from the oven, put the whole milk and granulated sugar into a small pot and scalding up gently until the granulated sugar has dissolved.
21
Brush over the top of the cake and return the cake to the oven for 2-3 mins.
22
Remove and allow the cake to cool in the tin.
23
When quite cold remove from the tin and wrap in foil and keep for at least 2 days before cutting.
