Ingredients List:
1kg packet mixed fruit
2 cups fruit juice, pine/orange, orange, etc
2 cups SR Flour, even Gluten Free works
2-3 tsp mixed spice

Sok the fruit in the juice overnight, refrigerated. Next day, mix in flour and spice to suit your taste, pour into a well-lined fruit tin and bake for about 60-90 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius. Check with a skewer. Freezes well. Add nuts and any extra dried fruits you like. I have iced and decorated this as a wedding cake.

I use this recipe for Christmas Cake but use iced coffee instead of juice.

My late mother made the best fruit cake. Suffice to say, you could almost get drunk eating her delicious cake....but not really! It did contain a good portion of quality brandy.

I'm going to make this cake. I'll make it like a boiled fruit cake, heating the spice and fruit to plump in the juice and leaving it to cool before adding flour.

I have used tea, coffee or juice to make this fruit cake. Fruit cake being hubbies favourite I regularly made a version of it and watched it disappear before my eyes!!

I've made a similar fruit cake, using chocolate milk instead of fruit juice. Delicious. Have also made it using iced coffee flavoured milk.
