200g mixed dried fruit soaked in 100ml cold tea or fruit juice

100g butter

100g soft brown sugar

1 Tbsp treacle

2 tsps. spice – Your choice

2 eggs

200g flour

1.5 tsps. baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1. Soak the dried fruit in black tea overnight.
2. Place the soaked fruit, butter, sugar, treacle and spice into a large pan and gently bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer on a medium heat, with quite a fast roll, for around 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture turns syrupy and coats the back of a spoon. Try not to rush this step.
3. Take off the heat and allow to cool: the mixture will thicken further on cooling.
4. Add the eggs to the cooled batter and beat well.
5. Heat the oven to 325°F. 
6. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
7. Weigh the flour, baking powder and baking soda and set aside. 
8. Add in the flour mixture and beat to combine.
9. Transfer immediately to the prepared loaf tin and cook for 45 minutes, until well risen and golden brown. You can test its readiness by inserting a skewer - if it comes out clean, it's baked. Cool in the tin.
