I originally fell in love with this cake while working in a farm shop in Scotland. It’s an amazing place called Loch Arthur in a tiny village called Beeswing. The Loch Arthur kitchen cranks out the most beautiful pies, soups, salads, scones (yep, the same scones I’ve written about) and cakes, like this one. Because we grew most of our own produce, ...
There are so many reasons to love this cake. 1. It’s ridiculously easy. I truly believe that no matter how hard you try, you will not screw it up. 2. It’s super moist! The fruit to cake ratio in this recipe is almost 50/50, which makes it pretty much impossible to dry out and it actually manages to get better over time. Three days on the counter at...
Flour – I like using a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, but if all you have is all-purpose, that works too.Eggs – I always use large eggs when bakingOil – Any neutral oil will doSugar – A combination of white and brownThe process for making this cake could not be simpler. 1.

Banana– you can add walnuts and/or chocolate chips too 4. Pineapple– topped with a sprinkle of coconut 5. Pears and fresh ginger– with sliced pears on top 6. Grapes– thi...
I find that sticking to one or two ‘showcase’ ingredients, like the combinations above, make the cake feel more sophisticated. But when all you have a few mushy bananas, a bruised apple, and a bag of frozen blueberries, you’ve got yourself a fruit cake. And a damn good one too! You can include some dried fruit as well, but avoid using 100% dried fr...
Ok so I’m a humongous proponent of using a digital scale for baking. Using a scale means that I can easily use one bowl for recipes like this. My method is to mix with the wet ingredients in a large bowl, then set a sieve on top and weigh the dry ingredients into the sieve, zeroing out the scale after each addition. That way, the dry ingredients ar...
You can bake this cake in almostwhatever shape you want. For a slab cake, use an 8 x 12 brownie tin. For loaves, use two loaf pans. If you prefer a round cake, which is often a nice option if you’re entertaining guests, use two 8 inch round cake tins. Note: I do not recommend you bake this recipe in muffin tins. It’s so juicy that the muffins don’t...
