Ingredients

    1.5kg mixed dried fruit
    250g glace cherries, red and green mixed
    100g mixed peel
    1 Tbsp grated orange rind
    1 Tbsp grated lemon rind
    1/2 cup brandy or dark rum
    500g butter
    1 1/2 cups Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar
    8 eggs
    2 bananas
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    4 cups flour
    1 cup self raising flour

Method

    Place the mixed fruit, cherries, mixed peel, orange rind, lemon rind and brandy or rum in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and leave overnight.
    Cream butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then add the bananas and vanilla essence. Stir in the fruit mixture, mix well and add the flour. Mix until well combined.
    Place in a deep 25cm cake tin, which had been lined with two layers of brown paper and one layer of grease proof paper. Bake at 150°C for approximately 3 and 1/2 hrs, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
