Recipe's preparation

  1. Put Citrus Peel into TM Bowl and mill 10 secs/sp10

  2. Add Dried Fruit and Pineapple (including juice) and cook 15mins/100°/sp1, put aside in a separate bowl and leave overnight or to cool down. Clean and dry mixing bowl.

  3. Mill Brown and Basmati Rice 2mins/sp10

  4. Add Almonds and mill 10secs/sp10

  5. Add Buckwheat Flour (can use whole buckwheat - add with the rices above), Cinnamon, Mixed Spice and Ground Cloves, mix 5secs/sp10.  SET ASIDE IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL.

  6. Put Butter in TM Bowl and beat 10secs/sp9

  7. Add Maple Syrup and mix 5secs/sp4, scrape sides and mix a further 5secs/sp4

  8. Add eggs on sp4 one at a time with 2 tablespoons of the flour/spice mix each time.  Add Vanilla Bean Paste with the final egg.

  9. Add 500g of the fruit mixture and mix 10secs/sp4.  Tip into the large mixing bowl with left over spiced flours and fold in with remaining fruit.

  10. Put in a baking paper lined cake tin with newspaper wrapped around the outside and tied with string - this will prevent the sides from overcooking and drying out.  Decorate with Blanched Almonds and Cherries.

    1 large 23cm tin - 150° 1.5 hrs then 130° 1.5-2hrs.

    Mini cakes (4 inch tins) will take 1.5-2hrs at 130°

Tip

For the best flavour, wrap the cake in greaseproof paper and in a tea towel and leave in a cool place for a few weeks.  If putting into a plastic bag, refridgerate or freeze as cake may sweat at room temperature.  For a richer flavour, spoon over a few tablespoons of brandy or liquor of your choice each week until you are ready to eat!

    Turned out beautifully! I also used Quinoa Flour. Would absolutely recommend to everyone - and as a suggestion, try with some butterscotch or brandy custard!

    Cooking 7 am very happy with the flavour: i made lots of little ones in a silicone muffin tray which look beautiful. Ran out of maple syrup so used clear pale honey. I also used dates and dried mango pieces.
