"What an excellent recipe, we all loved it! It tasted even better when we had the leftovers for dinner the next day. I precooked the carrots in the micriwave for about 5 minutes - which saved some time. Thanks for the inspiring recipes - turning our Sunday meals into exciting "experiments"! Best regards Christina (Austrian, living in Germany)"

"This war my first fruit cake - like a dream come true baking event and I dared to changesome of the ingredients: instead of 300g sultaninas I added dried pinapple, coconut, left out the lemon peel but doubled the orange peel quantity. I also added cranberries. Then, as I didn't have brandy I tried grand marnier - fed it twice and served it on the next day by warming the slices up and adding some whipped cream - it was the most delicous cake I ever ate in my whole life! Regarding baking time - the indicated time war perfect for my mixture! "
