I've been making the same one for many years too, its easy and always turns out great. I put a lot more fruit in and at least half a cup of sherry though

Just wondering about the size of the Goldpack fruit mince anyone? I want to make this cake again too but can't find the packets anywhere. Thought I'd use another brand (sorry Goldpack!) Thanks

Goldpack Fruit was in 400 gram packets.
Thanks for the recipe. I too had the recipe on the original back of the packet but also seem to have misplaced it. I know it is somewhere with my recipes. I guess the moral of this story is to write recipes into THE book.
Thanks anyway,
