fruit cake before the choc frosting
Ingredients..
2 1/2 cups wholemeal self raising flour
1 cup soft brown sugar
1 cup mixed dried fruit
grated lemon peel
1 cup soya milk
8tbsp veg marg
pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
In a small pan melt together the veg marg and soft brown sugar on a low heat. In a seperate bowl mix together all dry ingredients and stir, then add the raisins and peel. Pour the melted marg and sugar into the dry ingredients and mix well. Then pour into a well greased cake tin and pop in the oven for 30-40 mins, 180oC
Topping ingredients..
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup veg marg
Beat the marg in a bowl until soft, then add the icing sugar and beat well. Stir in the cocoa powder until everything is combined.
Then spread evenly over the cake.
I grated some hazelnuts on the top and added a dark choc with a Robin on top too, which made for a great gift for mi Nan n Grandad :)
While I was in a cake frenzy I though I might as well make another for myself and friends.
I made it with the same method and ingredients but I used oat milk instead of soya, and sprinkled the loaf with almonds instead of hazelnuts..
Enjoyed a slice with a cosy brew..
