CUP OF TEA CAKE

The second fruit cake post! This lovely recipe was given to me by Margaret from Penzance and it came from her great aunt Beattie from Paul. Beattie [Jordon] has long since passed away but her recipe lives on.

In a saucepan place:

4 oz butter

8 oz mixed fruit - anything you want

a cup of strong black tea

gently bring to the boil then set aside until almost cold. Add:

8 oz SR flour

4 oz sugar - any

1 teaspoon mixed spice

1 large egg

Mix well and pour into a prepared tin. I lined the bottom and used a 6 inch round.

Bake in a preheated oven 150 deg C for 1 ¼ hours.

A really scrummy, yummy moist cake. Thank you Margaret.

There will be yet another in 3 or 4 days time…. my fave..
