This traditional Scottish cake is a lighter and more crumbly version of the fruit cake. As delicious with a cup of tea as with a wee dram!

Instructions
  1. Cream together the butter and the sugar and slowly beat in the eggs one at a time.
  2. Add the sifted flour and salt and milk, and mix together to make a batter.
  3. Then add in the fruit, peel, almonds, orange rind, bicarbonate of soda and cherries.
  4. Once all the mixture has been blended well transfer into a greased lined cake tin. You will need a tin 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. Place a pattern of almonds on the top of the mixture to create a lovely decorative effect to the cake.
  5. Put in a pre-heated oven on gas mark 3 or 170C for 3 hours. Test with a thin skewer at the end of the cooking time to make sure the cake is cooked right through. Cook for a little longer if needed.
