Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1¼ cups golden raisins
- 1¼ cups raisins
- ¾ cup dried pitted dates
- ½ cup currants
- 1 cup candied orange or lemon peel
- 1⅓ cups walnuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ tsps pumpkin pie spice
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup golden syrup or light corn syrup
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 5 tbsps apple juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a 9-inch round cake tin with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, combine milk, golden syrup, butter, dates, golden raisins, raisins, currants, and candied peel. Heat gently until the butter melts; let cool.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda; fold in chopped walnuts.
- Once the fruit mixture cools, beat in eggs one at a time and gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 2 to 2½ hours or until a skewer comes out clean.
- While warm, poke holes in the top and drizzle with apple juice to soak in as it cools completely in the tin.
- Wrap tightly once cooled and 'feed' with apple juice every few days for enhanced flavor.
