it tastes just like a boiled fruit cake, you cant taste the iced coffee in it. And its very moist.

There's another variation which uses orange juice instead of coffee.I made it and kept it in the freezer.

So you make the iced coffee with 1t coffee, milk and ice and put in a blender, or make a hot coffee, let it cool, then freeze a little??

Somebody posted this a while ago (sorry, have forgotten who) and I saved it.Hope this helps, if it doesn't confuse ;)
"1kg dried fruit (of your choice) 2 C orange juice OR 2 C strong black coffee (soak overnight)
Next day stir in 2 C flour 4 t Baking powder 1 t spice (or your choice; mixed or cinnamon?)
Pour into a greased tin and cook @ 180 deg C for 1-1/2hrs.
Turns out moist and freezes well.
ps: somepeople like the dried fruit soaked in sherry but I think that's a blatant waste of alcohol haha!"

1kg dired fruit. 2 c liquid (of your choice and can include alcohol). 2c SR flour (or 2c plain with 3tsp BP), spices of your choice. Same recipe as all of the above but more generic. I have made it with 1/2c baileys and 1 & 1/2 c strong cocoa drink and added 2 tsp cinamon. Also 1/2 c brandy and pinapple fizzy (was on hand at the time) and added 2 tsp cinamon, 1 tsp ginger, and 1/2 tsp cloves and nutmeg. Alcohol means it will keep and is very moist. Made some in mini muffin pans (cook 10 mins approx) at 150 deg. C. A very fruity cake and can add nuts if wanted.

They've put out a new book - "4 Ingredients Christmas" - which is worth a look.
I have just returned this book to the library - I wasn't overly impressed with the recipes but then I guess to me Christmas is more about doing really special things.I didn't keep a copy of any recipe.If you are thinking of buying it, I'd suggest you borrow it first and see if it really is what you're after.

How about this one 1 kg mixed fruit soaked in 2 cups of coffee..(1 tbs coffee per cup) over night, in morning add 2 cups self rising flour, 150gms fruit and nut chocolate (chopped) bake 2 hrs 150 deg, This is the best moist christmas cake, even the kids like it.....

mine doesnt have baking powder, cause of the self raising flour.
