Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease baking tray and dust with flour or cover with baking paper. Prepare and wash the fruit, remove seeds, cut into pieces or slices, depending on the variety.
- Beat the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy. Stir the eggs one by one into the butter mixture. Mix flour with almonds and baking powder. Add to the dough alternating with the milk. Stir vigorously, but not too long. The dough should fall off the spoon with a hard tear, add some more milk if necessary.
- Spread the dough on the baking sheet and smooth it down. Spread the prepared fruit. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 900g/2lb loaf tin and line the base and ends with a long strip of baking parchment. Put the butter, caster sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract into a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer for 5 mins until pale and creamy - the mixture will be very thick.
- Spread one-third of the cake mix into the tin, then scatter over 50g of the fruit. Carefully dot and spread another third of the cake mix on top, and scatter with another 50g fruit. Finally dot the rest of the cake mix over and gently spread with the back of a spoon. Bake for 1 hr, until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Poke the cake all over with a skewer. Put remaining 75g fruit into a bowl with the granulated sugar. Stir in 1 tbsp of the citrus juice first with a fork, mashing a little of the fruit as you go. If it's a bit dry, add a splash more juice and spoon over the cake. Leave in the tin until the cake is cool and the topping is set and crisp.

Tips for Making the Best Summer Fruit Cake:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Toss the fruit in a little sugar and cornstarch before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a well-greased and floured bundt pan. This will help to ensure that the cake comes out of the pan easily.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cake.
Conclusion:
Summer fruit cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture and sweet, fruity flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this summer fruit cake a try.
