Bahan-bahan:

A

250g butter (softened)

100 fine sugar

1 tsp ( I used 1/2 tsp) ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp (I used 1/2 tsp) orange essence

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

2 large eggs

B(combined & sifted)

250g plain flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cream of tartar

C(combined)

100g mixed dried mixed fruits*

200g dried black currants* - *me used prune

50g walnuts (chopped into small pieces)

20g plain flour

D

200g castor sugar (for burnt sugar) 

Method:

Heat a steamer over medium heat.

Combine A, except eggs, mix with a wooden spoon.

Add eggs, one at a time, & blend well. Do not overmix.

Add B &mix well.

Add C & mix well. Do not overmix.

Prepare burnt sugar by placing D into a heavy skillet over medium high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon as sugar melts. When it becomes very dark brown, remove from heat and carefully add to the fruit cake mixture. (NB: the burnt sugar will harden almost immediately, the hardened ones can still be added to the batter in the baking pan.)

Pour mixture into a lined & greased baking pan (8x8x4").  Then cover pan with aluminium foil & tie the pan with a string again. Make sure the pan  is water-proof.

Steam the cake for 4 hours. Then remove pan from steamer. Leave pan aside for 10 minutes. Then remove cake from pan. Leave to cool.
