After soaking, sift the flour and spice into the soaked fruit (no need to drain the tea) and stir in the egg. Blend well together.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the mixture.
Step 4
Bake for approximately 1 hour until the cake has risen and cooked through. Leave to cool on a rack and store for 2 days before eating. Warm a little honey to drizzle over the surface of the warm cake for a glazed topping. Serve sliced with butter.
