HONEY SULTANA AND CHERRY CAKE
1. 200g self raising flour
2. 175g honey
3. 110g butter
4. 2 medium eggs
5. 175g sultanas
6. 110g glace cherries

Method
1. Wash the sultanas and cherries to remove any syrup and dry them. Halve the cherries.
2. Line a 16.5 - 19.0 cm round cake tin with baking parchment OR grease well.
3. Pre-heat conventional oven to 160°C or 140°C if using a fan oven.
4. Cream the butter with honey until light and fluffy.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together and gradually add the beaten eggs to the butter mixture a little at a time, beating between each addition.
6. Sieve the flour and mix the fruit with it to ensure the fruit is dry.
7. Gradually fold in the flour and fruit using a metal spoon.
8. Add a little milk if necessary, to achieve a dropping consistency.
9. Put the mixture in the prepared tin and using the back of a spoon dipped in milk smooth the surface to produce a slightly lower centre.
10. Bake in the oven for approximately 1½ hours until the cake is firm and a skewer inserted in the middle is clean when withdrawn.
11. Allow to cool in the tin. When cold, remove from the tin and remove the baking parchment
