Earl and Lady Grey Tea cake

There's something about warm fruit loaf with butter.... And this is my current favourite.

It's adapted from Jamie Oliver's "Jamie's Great Britain".

I have made it with both Earl Grey and Lady Grey tea.

Ingredients:
Earl or Lady Grey tea
400g dried fruit
1 large egg, beaten
300g caster sugar
400g self-raising flour
1tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Make the tea with 300ml boiling water and add to the fruit. Leave to steep overnight.

In the morning, add all the other ingredients and mix. It will be very dry but don't worry.

Spoon mixture into a lined loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees for about 1 hour 10 minutes.

Let it cool for as long as you can then enjoy buttered with a cup of tea.
