Linda My Mum has an excellent all-in-one type recipe for a nice light fruit cake. She's never had one go wrong yet. I had the recipe until a few weeks ago and she pinched it back so I'll just ring and ask her for it. Jeanette x

Not just off the top of my head, Linda but I could go and look for you - have you a "Delia"? Is it a boiled type fruit cake, really moist and dark or a lighter type you want to make? Joanxx.
