  Fantastic recipe. The apples were quite juicy so next time I might add another egg as it sank after 1hr baking. Very scrummy and doesn't need icing.

  Fantastic cake and so easy to make. Not sure if you are meant to peel tha apples prior to grating - i didn't bother and I don't think it made any difference. Cooking time is longer than in recipe - my cake took 1 hour 15 or so. Can't comment on how well it keeps, as it was eaten within 2 days! Will definitely make this again.

  Fantastic recipe, so easy to make and so yummy to eat! Had to cook mine for longer than recipe stated but that isn't unusual for my oven! Was wondering if anyone had changed the recipe at all to make a larger cake?

  Delicious and easy! I made it yesterday for my workmates and they enjoyed it. But I have substituted raisins for dried cranberries and used granulated sugar and marple syrop, so my cake was a little bit lighter in color. Also I cut sugar almost a half, but it was still very sweet, good with tea or black coffee. Will definitely cook it again.

  Really easy to make, made this as an Xmas cake to take down to my parents over the festive period, went down really well. I used only one apple and 400g of sainsburys luxury mixed fruit (sultanas, currants, cherries, dried apricot, dried pineapple and mixed peel) which worked well. I cooked it for slightly longer until a skewer came out clean in the middle. I covered the cake in ready to roll marzipan and left for a day to dry, then covered it in ready to roll white icing (my first icing experience!) I then made my own decorations out of coloured sugar paste icing. I also made this into mini fruit cakes twice as shown in the "goes well with..." on this page. Both times I topped them with marzipan, using white icing for mini birthday cakes the first time and made my own festive icing toppers the second time. All in all, a good fruit cake on its own and as basis for experiencing with different themes and finishings :o)

  This is the best fruitcake I've ever made - it's moist, well-spiced and so simple. I agree that it's crumbly, but we just eat it with a fork!
