Porter Cake Preparation:


Method:

Combine the flour, baking powder, butter, sugar, spice, lemon zest, porter and eggs in a bowl and beat for about 3 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Add the dried fruit and stir to mix then turn the batter into a greased and floured deep 18cm diameter cake tin.

Level the top then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for about 90 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly. Set aside to cool completely in the tin then wrap in greaseproof (waxed) paper and foil. Place in an air-tight tin and set aside to mature for 1 week before serving.
