Excellent Karen! That’s one of my favourites too – I am a HUGE fruit cake fan. Good luck with the icing, that’s where all my cakes take a disastrous turn! I am sure your mum will be delighted. Wish her a happy Birthday from all at the Dairy Diary.

I am a bit of a cook-what-I-know type person, but with my Mum’s 60th Birthday looming, and the expectation to make a cake (or 2) I started thumbing through my cookbooks. In the Year Round Cookbook I came across a recipe for ‘Tropical fruit cake’. Having never made a fruit cake before (not really being that keen myself) and knowing that my Mum adores it I thought I should do a test cake. The recipe was amazingly easy to follow, and once I’d got it out and cut I delivered small parcels of it to everyone I know for some honest opinions on how it tasted…. and the result? A resounding thumbs up! I got a few tips for not scorching the top so much (double layer of greaseproof) but apart from that everyone said it was delicious! So I am now confidently about to make another to ice for a lucky Mum!

My Dairy Diaries date back to 1993 the first ones I received from my Aunt when she came to visit – we live in Campbell River on Vancouver Island in Canada and the diary helps keep me connected to my birthplace- England. This little “helper” is a real jewel and I use it every day-looking forward to the new edition
