My Mother-In-Law鈥檚 Madeira Cake





Ingredients





1 cup butter


戮 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for sprinkling


grated zest and juice of 1 lemon


3 large eggs


1 录 cups self-rising cake flour


陆 cup all-purpose flour


small loaf pan





Preheat the oven to 350掳 F. Butter your loaf pan. Cream the butter and sugar, and add the lemon zest. Add the eggs one at a time with a tablespoon of the flour (the two kinds mixed together) for each. Then gently mix the rest of the flour and, finally, the lemon juice.





Sprinkle with sugar (about 2 tablespoons should do it) as it goes into the oven, and bake for 1 hour or until a cake-tester comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack, and let cool in the pan before turning out.





Mother-in-law's Christmas cake





Ingredients:


360g butter


250g dark brown sugar


6 eggs


1 陆 1/2 kgs mixed fruits


about 鈪?cup chopped glace fruits


about 鈪?cup nuts such a walnuts or almonds


425gr plain flour


1 陆 teaspoon mixed spice


鈪?teaspoon cinnamon


grated zest of one orange


3 TB brandy (or more!)


extra brandy





Method:


In a large bowl beat together butter and sugar, then eggs one at a time. Stir in half the combined dried fruits, glace fruits and nuts and mix well. Sift in half the flour mixed with the spices and mix well.





Add remainder of the fruits and stir in, then balance of the flour, orange zest and brandy. Ensure that mixture is well blended together.





Prepare large cake tin by lining base and sides with a couple of layers of brown paper. Spoon the cake mixture into the tin and level surface. (I wrap a folded newspaper around the outside.)





Place into a 150掳C oven and place a piece of parchment over the surface for the first hour. Test with a skewer after 2 hours. Usually takes between 2-2 陆 hours.





Now I like to pour more brandy over the surface as soon as the cake comes from the oven and then a little drizzle every day.





Mother-In-Laws Honey Cake





1 cup sugar


4 tablespoons oil


4 eggs


1 cup strong coffee (add 2 to 3 tablespoons of instant coffee to hot water)


1 cup honey


3 cups flour


2 teaspoons baking powder


1 teaspoon baking soda


2 tablespoons cinnamon


1 1/2 cups floured raisins and/or other dried fruit*


1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)





Proceedure:


Preheat oven to 325 degrees.





Combine hot water and instant coffee. Add oil and honey. Whisk.





Add dry ingredients and beat with electric mixer. You'll have a liquidy, mocha-colored batter. Stir in dried fruit.





Pour batter into large tube pan or 9-by-13-inch pan. If you want to use nuts, spray the bottom of the tube pan with oil and put them on the bottom, or sprinkle them on top of the batter in rectangular pan.





Bake for one hour (until a toothpick comes out clean).





*Note: Gently sprinkle the dried fruit with a scant teaspoon of flour. This keeps them from sinking into the batter. Don't use too much flour or it may not bake with the cake.
