Tip
This is my Mother "Mop's" recipe, which is an old family favourite.
Only 4 main ingredients!
Suitable for TM5.
Ticks all the boxes for a Healthy cake; substitute another type of sugar if preferred.
Original recipe had only SR flour but prefer 1/2 WMSR flour as it gives the cake added fibre, texture and flavour.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla essence for added flavour just before adding flour and salt.
Can make in less time, however currants won't be as plump and juicy or cake as moist.

Made this many years ago with black currant tea. Very nice.

Fantastic when there's nothing left in the pantry! I could only leave the fruit to soak for an hour or so, but it still turned out great.
Good on you Juby can't wait to try Mum's recipe in the Thermy!
