Simple Easy Moist Boiled fruit cake Recipe. Guaranteed to impress. My mother used to make the most delicious cinnamon fruit loaf, yummy, moist and it always turned out just perfect. I remember coming in from school and smelling the aroma and could not wait until it was ready. Sitting peering through the cooker glass, willing it to hurry up and be ready.
As winter approaches this is a perfect tea time cake to have to hand for those visitors that pop in over the holiday season.
Like many things our mothers hand down to us, this is one that always stirs emotions and sweet memories.
From the moist inside of the loaf to the slightly crisp outside. T
here is nothing better than a slice of this yummy fruit loaf with a hint of cinnamon, slathered with butter and a cup of tea.
It is so easy to make and it has never turned out wrong.
My husband refuses to buy shop-bought fruit loaves or fruit cakes.
As even he is a master chef with this delightfully easy recipe.
