  Really lovely and kept well. I added mixed spice in the dry mix and in the tea for soaking. Lovely.

  Great recipe! didnt have quite enough fruit, so added a few dried prunes and apricots, soaked for 48hours as I had forgotten it! Used fresh orange juice (with bits) instead of whole orange. Didnt have Demerara sugar so used muscovado instead with some chopped almonds on the top. Wasnt at all crumbly, in fact, very moist, will defro make it again, especially as its low in fat content!

  Whoops! forgot to mention that it took considerably longer to cook, about another 25 minutes to be exact! So keep putting it back into oven until the skewer comes out clean! By the way Aldi do a pack of Mxd Berries at quite a competitive price!

  Love this recipe and have made time and time again. Very easy and very nice soft cake :) I always add a little freshly grated ginger & nutmeg. Make sure to leave the tea to completely soak in to the dried fruit.

  I made this with 100g of mixed fruit, 100g of currants and 100g of raisins but left out the orange juice and zest. I also didn't put any sugar on the top when baking. I baked it in the centre of the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes when it was done. I have yet to taste it to tomorrow and will let you know then with an update. I also soaked the fruit with hot tea for about half an hour and boosted it with one full minute in the microwave!

  Scrumptious. As only baking for 2, made as a traybake (1 litre foil dish - approx 11cm x 20cm) using 1/2 measures of the ingredients. Used the other half of the beaten egg in a different recipe. Made with mix of dried fruits I had in the house (raisins, cranberries, chopped dates, chopped apricots) and glace cherries. Baked for approx 30 mins @ 180 deg C. Can get 12 portions from this bake. Lovely and moist even 5 days later. Eat it with low fat fruit yoghurt on top for breakfast as part of our calorie controlled diet.

  Very easy to make and freeze! A fantastic flavour, and I don't even like tea! I took this to Kraft with me at a nursery and it kept the staff goings all day! Really good, cooked dry well and remained nice and moist even after freezing. I used an even mix of sultanas, raisins and currants for the dried fruit!

  Yummy!! I accidentally used dark brown sugar instead of light, but it still tasted lovely (Just a bit more christmas-cakey). Will definitely be making again!

  This is sooooo tasty made a couple of days ago added cranberries glazed cherries, did not have an orange so used fresh orange with bits also had to bake for 1hr 20mins. It's nearly all gone went down well with the family so am now making another. Fruit soaking in tea still didn't have an orange so used the juice and jest of a Satsuma and added some walnuts. If this turns out as well as the first I will be happy.

  Used Earl Grey tea to soak the fruit - lovely, crumbly cake with moist fruit. Will definitely bake again especially with so little butter and sugar!!
