GOLF CAKE 1 Kg mixed dried fruit 2 cups orange juice 2 cups self-raising flour 1 teaspoon Cinnamon I added a handful of chopped dried apricots and some nuts Place fruit in a bowl and pour over orange juice. Leave overnight. Stir in flour and cinnamon and pour into a baking paper-lined 23cm cake tin. Bake at 180C for one hour 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 160C and bake a further 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in tin for 15 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack.

Make sure that you bake it not too long before you want to eat it - everybody who baked it reported that because it has no fat in it it will go dry very quickly!

I made this a while ago. I put half in the freezer, thawed beautifully.I found it more fruit than cake and that meant it kept very well, even with only me eating it. I also added chopped dark chocolate. Oh so good, I had to be strong and ration it.

If I decide to give this a go - how long does it keep!

We couldn't eat it at all. I made the orange juice recipe. Absolute Horrors.

I know I shouldn't judge it before I try it, and so on, but that one with the orange juice and the SR flour sounds.awful. How does it not end up terribly dry and one-dimensional in flavour!

It is.I can't imagine why people like it.

Any of them really.I haven't tried them though so I can't actually comment with any credibility.

Because it is easy, cheap and quick to make. And people do like the taste.
Just like most people LOVE takeaways - although I think they taste terrible. But probably 90% of NZlanders LOVE the stuff and will tell you that it tastes "good".
So that is why I suppose.

Did you bump this year old thread so you could criticise the recipe and the people who eat it!
elliehen,

I get a 'takeaway' from a local Indian Restaurant which is usually full of discerning New Zealand diners.
What a wild generalisation - not to mention the slur on '90% of NZlanders'!
Why does this person constantly disparage the people in her adopted country!

I read back through here and realised I haven't made a cake for a year. Must be time I baked again. And I never eat "takeaways". Might have fish and chips once every couple of years when my daughter visits. She lives 20mins drive from the nearest shop so it is not on their menu either.

No I bumped it for the Xmas cake bakers. They all love "an easy quick recipe" - so that is exactly what this is.
I then answered davidt4's question.
You and ellie can answer her question too if you like - nobody is stopping you.
