how deep is “deep pan” please? Mine is 5cm. deep enough?

Add juice from one orange with one teaspoon of baking soda
Do not add the golden syrup
1/2 tsp of following ground cloves mixed spice cinnamon nutmeg (instead of two tsp of mixed spice)
Two cups of flour
Baked in 250mm sq tin at 140c for 3 hours

Immm baked at 140 for 3 hr, dry, probably my fault as I used a rectangle instead of 20cm square tin ..lesson learnt.

Made this for my birthday, it was a great hit, now making it for Xmas thankyou

Macerate the fruit for 2 days. Replace golden syrup with a little ginger syrup (maybe 2 tbsp) Reduce the sugar to loose 3/4 cup. Add 1 tsp baking powder. Add 1 tsp allspice. Extra orange rind. Cook 3 hours 40 mins.

does it not need baking powder?- want to make this- but will probably add the baking powder- otherwise I am giving4 stars in anticipation and gonna give it a go

CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, no this cake doesn't require baking powder. Enjoy!

Having turned on the oven and lined my baking tin, just wondering whether I should turn the oven off while I wait for fruit to soak overnight?

CHELSEA SUGAR: Thanks for your feedback! We have updated the recipe now :)

Beautiful cake. First time I have made it. Followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out magnificent. Will make this from now on. It is very well received. 5 stars.

I just made this cake yesterday, and it tastes amazing! Even allowing for me mistakenly buying chopped dates rather than chopped prunes, it's still delicious... Well worth trying!

Wonderful cake. Like others, was worried about filling the loaf tin, but turned out beautifully. Will make another when we're half way through the next, as it really matures nicely after a couple of days. Will certainly be a regular on my list. Currants, sultanas, raisins. Glace cherries (chopped) added in AFTER the boiling bit worked nicely.
Thank you so much!
PS: I wouldn't say difficulty was hard! Seemed really easy to me.

This is a nice recipe but mine was overcooked in three hours.

It is very amazing. We made this cake at my birthday and enjoyed it very much.

I have made this fruit cake several times. I don't cook it for 4 hours as I believe it becomes too dry. I cook it for around 3 hours on 150. I also only use 1 third of a cup of sugar as with all that golden syrup and fruit it would be far too sweet with a cup of sugar as well. It is perfect with way less sugar as is most cakes. I always now at least half the amount of sugar and they always turn out better. I only gave 4 stars because it needed to be changed with cooking time and sugar content.

Delicious!
