thanks Brianmac love cakes where you don't cream. have in fact made Alison Holst's Love Cake- called that cos you only make it for people you love- takes 3 days.and yes, do have to cream butter. and it has 2 cups of ground almonds in it as well as SR flour and the fruit soaked in brandy. sounds yum. But will try above recipe too.

Ginger Loaf This is out of very old (70's) recipie book so not sure how good it is as I have never made it. 2c flour, 1c milk, 1c sugar, 1 egg, 2tbs golden syrup, 2tsp ginger, 1tsp cinnamon, 1tsp mixed spice, butter sixe of an egg, pinch of salt. Beat all ingredients together for 8 minutes then add 1tsp baking soda dissolved in 1tbs boiling water.As old books go it doesn't tell me how long to bake it for and what temp so I would say 160c for half hour and check if it is done.

Note, the following recipe is repeated. in that thread "what did you bake last week" or something like that. It is beautiful and keeps for over a week and even tastes better. Truly worth trying and is very highly recommended for something that is extra special or for a special ocassion. Cheers.

Moroccan Honey & Mint Syrup Cake.Part1 of 3 Batter; 160g butter softened, 310g sugar, 1 ½ tsp dried or fresh mint, 6 eggs, 230g coconut & 210g Self raising flour. Preheat oven 150c. Beat butter, sugar & mint until change of colour. Add small quantities of egg, coconut & flour beating well between each addition to prevent mixture from curdling. Repeat until all is used. Line a lightly greased 22cm spring release cake tin with baking powder. Pour in the batter, bake for 1 –1 ½ hours ( you can make the mint syrup during this time). Check the cake is baked by inserting a skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean, cake is ready. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes.

thanks shula2, yes I do have a food processor- and I also usually melt butter rather than cream. will try your cake it looks delish. have now tried out several including a condensed milk one from another thread - I changed it around- soaked the fruit in earl grey tea first, it is beautiful. My family is extremely grateful to be trying out all these lovely fruitcakes as these days I don't have time to bake every week.nice to be told "you are being a real mother again."

Moroccan Cake. the final part of 3.The Assembly. Assembly; 75g butter, 180g honey & 180g flaked or slivered almonds. Preheat oven 170c. With the cake still in tin, prick 60 to 75 holes in the top and down into the cake. Pour the mint syrup evenly over the top of cake slowly to allow seepage into cake. Place butter, honey & almonds in a saucepan & melt together stirring until well combined. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and immediately spread this topping on the cake to cover the whole top. Place the cake back into oven & bake the topping to a light amber colour approx 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool in tin for 20-30 minutes. Remove cake from tin carefully and remove paper gently while still warm. Dust with icing sugar before serving. P.S. Please avoid burning the top upon second time in oven.
