Mix the dried
fruit, cherries, sugar and tea in a large bowl.
Leave to soak overnight until the tea has been
absorbed.
Preheat the
oven to 180'C/350r/Gas 4. Line and grease
a 1kg loaf tin. Add the egg and flour to
the fruit mixture and beat thoroughly until well
mixed.
Pour into the
prepared tin and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until
a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Prick the top of
the cake with a skewer and drizzle over the whiskey
while still hot. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then
remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
Cook's Tip: If time
is short use hot tea and soak the
fruit for two hours instead of overnight.
