Apricot surprise cake
« on: 17 July, 2008, 09:17:00 pm »
Ingredients
450g tinned apricots, pureed, juice and all
150g self-raising flour
375g of 'stuff' - this could be plain old mixed fruit, or raisins + pecans, or raisins + walnuts + glace cherries, that kind of thing. About half of the 'stuff' needs to be raisiny - something to absorb some of the apricot puree, at any rate.


What you do is...

1 Soak the 'stuff' in the apricot puree overnight in a covered container in the fridge (I recommend at least 12 hours).

2 Mix in the flour.

3 Bung the mush in a 25cm loaf tin and bake for about 90mins at about 180oC/Gas 4

4 Let it cool, slice it and eat it.

"Stuff"   ;D.

This reads like one of #1 son's recipies (he was until recently a chef at The Victoria at Holkham Hall).

"Some flour"
"Some eggs"
"A bit of salt"
"Water"

Yeah, 'stuff'. Whatever raisiny, fruity, nutty 'stuff' you've got/can get hold of.

Tastes lovely with pretty much any raisiny, fruity, nutty mix you bung in. Unless you're one of those weirdos who doesn't like raisins...

Anyway, I gave you numbers, didn't I? ::-) :P

No chance, mon brave :D

If I make one it barely gets chance to cool down.
