- STEP 2Stir in the flour and baking powder. Finely chop the stem ginger and add this to the mixture, along with the chopped fruit. Stir it all in, it should form a nice, gloopy batter.
- STEP 3Pour the mixture into a medium sized baking tray (for a tray-bake style cake) or a cake tin (for a more traditional circular cake).
- STEP 4Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees celcius for 1 hour and 15 minutes. When cooked, a knife inserted into the centre should come out clean. Take the tray/tin out of the oven and leave to cool before cutting into square or slices. Enjoy with a cup of tea mid afternoon, or warm with custard for pudding!
