How to Make Isle Of Wight Farmhouse Cake
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch (2 lb) loaf tin.
- In a large bowl, rub 8 ounces (225g) of softened butter into 12 ounces (340g) of self-raising flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add 8 ounces (225g) of light brown soft sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Stir in 8 ounces (225g) of mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas, etc.), 4 ounces (115g) of chopped candied peel, and 2 ounces (50g) of chopped glace cherries.
- Gently warm 8 fluid ounces (225ml) of milk in a saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and stir until dissolved.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the warm milk mixture and add 2 large eggs. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Arrange a few extra slices of candied peel on top.
- Bake for 120-150 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is nicely browned. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
