Great plain, soaked in alcohol and with cheddar cheese (ok its a Yorkshire thing - but trust me it tastes nice!). Personally I leave out the almonds, but only because I'm not too keen on them and it tasted just as nice without!

It makes two 7- 8 inch circular cakes or three 6 inch square cakes. I usually mix it in a purpose bought washing up bowl with a wooden spoon rather than risk my kenwood chef!

Ingredients

• 1.5lbs self raising flour
• 1lb margarine (something like Stork)

• 1/2 lb glace cherries

• Pinch of salt

• 3/4 lb white sugar
• 1lb raisins

Method

1. Mix together the sugar and eggs
2. Mix in rest of ingredients
3. Cook on gas mark 2 for 3 hours ish or until cooked through
