m41, the following recipe was posted on TM (thanks to momma1) quite a long time ago and with it an added note that it is "very like Ernest Adam's Light Fruitcake".
CUTTING CAKE 1½ tbsp cornflour 1 cup each ofcold waterandsugar 225g butter ½ tsp each ofalmond essence,lemon essence,orange essenceandvanilla essence 3 eggs 3 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 450g sultanas
Boil the cornflour and water until thick, then cool. Cream the butter, sugar and essences, then add the eggs, one at a time.Sift the flour, baking powder and coat sultanas with a few spoonsful.Add the remaining flour and baking powder alternately with the cornflour mixture to the creamed mixture.Lastly add the sultanas and pour the mixture into a paper-lined cake tin. Bake at170°Cfor1½ hours.
Hope that helps.:-))

My very old recipe is the same except custard powder is used instead of cornflour.
