How to Make Boiled Fruitcake
- Combine 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas), 1/2 cup chopped mixed peel, 1/4 cup chopped nuts, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- In another bowl, sift together 1 cup plain flour and 1/2 cup self-raising flour.
- Gently fold the beaten eggs into the cooled fruit mixture.
- Gradually fold in the sifted flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased and lined 20cm round cake tin.
- Bake in a moderate oven (160°C/325°F) for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
