This has to be one of my family's all time favourite cake.
Served just by it self or with a dab of fresh cream .

You can add more apples to the top than what recipe states.

I made my own birthday cake last weekend a (Hummingbird Cake) it`s my favourite, anyway to my surprise it didn`t cook properly inside so when I took it out of the tin the side broke off, then I thought I`ll fix this by putting a cream cheese icing in the middle and on top and it looked O.K. however when it came time to cut it, the whole thing fell to pieces and ended up a huge mess. So I kept at it, trying to encourage people to eat some of it which was mostly declined. I wasn`t wasting it though, and to-day the remains are still sitting in my fridge. By the way it looked shocking, but in my opinion it did taste good!!!

You should try it, just because I wanted it to be delicious and I guess show off a bit, it was a disaster, this has not happened with the recipe before (Jamie Oliver Recipe). It has banana and pinapple with pecan nuts, soo nice! Great that we can laugh about it now, just another life experience. Keep the cooking up!!

Follow the directions exactly, and it will work out.
As littleboy8 said as long as it taste good who cares what it looks like. But I'm sure if you follow the recipe you will be fine.

Everyone I've given the recipe to it has turned out

I like making fruit cakes

 

[Suzanne rose]

I will tell you a secret of mine. 99% of the time I make cakes from scratch and they always turn out perfect

But Whenever I make a packet cake it never turns out. Figure that out !!

I like making fruit cakes

I make a fruit cake twice a year. I marinate the fruit for 6 weeks.
Tge recipe I do us the old Woman's weekly one which I have changed slightly

I've also make wedding cakes using this fruit cake recipe . Now no one has fruit cake for their wedding cakes now

Probably because you can’t squash it in your partners face and put it on tik tok
