-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounces flour
1 pound currants
1 pound raisins
2 ounces chopped mixed peel
4 ounces caster sugar
4 ounces Almonds -- chopped and blanched
1/4 pint milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- level
1 teaspoon ground ginger -- level
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 Pinch ground cloves
1 Pinch ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon brandy
12 Ounces Pastry Dough -- short crust
Beaten egg for glazing
Set oven to 350°F or Mark 4. Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, spices and
sugar in a bowl. Add the raisins, currants, mixed peel and almonds. Moisten the
mixture with the milk and brandy and stir well. Roll out two-thirds of the
pastry to line a well greased 10 inch cake tin. Fill with the fruit mixture and
make a lid with remaining pastry. Seal the edges using a little cold water;
press firmly. Brush with beaten egg. Finally make four holes with a skewer
right to the bottom of the tin. Bake for 2 to 2-1/2 hours; the cake is ready
when a skewer pushed in comes out clean. If the top is browning too much,
protect with greaseproof paper. Cool, slice and serve.
