5 ounces (125g) fine minced ginger
14 ounce tin (400g tin) crushed pineapple
1/2 cup strong tea

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, place the dried fruit, ginger and drained pineapple (reserve 3/4 cup of juice for later) mix and cover. Stand overnight.
  • 2. The next day: In a saucepan, place the fruit, tea, butter and sugar. Bring to the boil and remove from the heat. Mix in the bicarb with the boiling water and and stir through. Cool the mixture.
  • 3. Pre-heat oven to 320oF/160oC and well grease and line an 8 inch (20 cm) square cake tin.

  • 6. Once cold, remove cake from tin and wrap in aluminum foil and store in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks. To serve, slice as needed and return to the foil and well seal.

Tips:

  • Use gluten-free flour: This ensures that the fruit cake is suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
  • Choose ripe, fresh fruits: This will result in a more flavorful fruit cake.
  • Boil the fruit cake for the right amount of time: Over-boiling can make the cake dry and crumbly, while under-boiling can leave it too moist.
  • Let the fruit cake cool completely before icing: This will help the icing to set properly.
  • Store the fruit cake in an airtight container: This will help to keep it moist and fresh.
