A traditional fruit cake from the Channel Islands. I have not made this but have eaten many and with a good strong pot of tea. From From Ingredients:
750 g whole meal flour |
250 g guernsey butter |
2 eggs |

60 g dry yeast |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
60 g dark brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Warm the milk and set aside.
3. Cream up the butter with sugar, add eggs then mix with the flour. Add some yeast & a pinch of salt.
4. Make a depression in the dough and pour in the warm milk. Add the rest of the yeast and fruit, mixing & kneading the dough.
5. Leave to rise in a warm room for two hours. Knead again and grease a cake tin. Tip in the gache and cook for one hour in a moderate oven until golden brown.
