Norma Doyle’s Amazing Fruit Cake

Fruit cake? Not exactly my top choice – or so I thought!

When Stephen dropped by and kindly offered us a few slices of his freshly baked fruit cake, I hesitated, replying, “Chris will adore it, but, well, it’s not my personal favorite. Actually, I don’t really care for it.” Stephen, with a grin, encouraged me, saying, “Just give it a try.” So I did. Oh, my goodness – it was absolutely divine! Wonderfully light, bursting with a fresh and fruity flavor – simply scrumptious. I couldn’t get enough of it. As for Chris, he hardly got a chance to taste it.

I approached Stephen, asking if I could share this newfound gem with all of you, to which he agreed, provided that his dear Mum remains the rightful owner of the cherished recipe. Family recipes are priceless treasures, and they deserve to be shared. I wanted to spread the joy of this delectable treat with everyone.

Thank you to Stephen for allowing me to share this with you all and for converting it to Thermomix.

HINT: Stephen’s mixed fruit includes pineapple and cranberries.
