Overview
A McNally family fave (founder’s of Nuttelex), this cake is probably what your Grandma use to make at Christmas. It’s too good to eat only once a year, however, and we suggest you bake it for your next picnic or hike in the country, and serve with a hot thermos of strong tea.
Ingredients
Method
- Place Nuttelex, sultanas, sugar, raisins, walnuts and water in a saucepan and bring to boil, stirring well. Remove from heat and cool.
- Sift flour and spices together and put to one side.
- Add bicarbonate of soda to fruit mixture and stir.
- Mix in beaten eggs then flour and spices.
- Pour into greased and lined 20cm cake tin and bake at 170°C for 30–40 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Cool in tin for 5minutes before turning out on a cake rack.
Chefs Tip
Grate whole nutmeg on the finest section of a grater for a fresh flavour.
