English Translation

Ingredients:

675g plain flour
225g butter
450g caster sugar
115g mixed peel, chopped
225g currants
225g raisins
225g sultanas
120g blanched almonds, chopped
1/2 nutmeg, grated
15g yeast cake
mixed spice, to taste
500ml pale ale
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1 lemon
freshly-grated zest o 1 lemon


Method:

Sift the flour into a bowl then rub in the yeast. Cube the butter, add to the flour and rub in with your fingertips before adding the sugar, fruit and spices. Finally add the lemon zest and the fruit juices. Mix well then stir-in the pale ale (you are aiming for a fairly stiff batter, do not allow to become too soft). Bring the batter together then cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 90 minutes, or until almost doubled in volume.

Knock the dough back then transfer to a greased and floured cake tin. Level the top, cover and set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for about 150 minutes, or until baked through and nicely browned on top. If the cake is cooking too quickly cover the top with brown paper and continue baking until done. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate as you would any other Christmas cake before serving.
