I rarely have butter in the house (its my weakness, so best not to have any!) so I was very happy to find this recipe from the Leon cookbook. Apart from a bit of overnight soaking its a really quick cake.
375g dried fruit
250ml cold Earl grey tea (or any tea you like)
1 large egg
75g Sugar
250g Self raising flour
Soak the dried fruit in the tea overnight. Add everything else adding the flour 1 spoon at a time.
Cook at 170 c for one hour.
