METHOD
Add three tea bags to 300 ml of boiling water, leave to brew for 5 minutes
Put the currants, mixed fruit , Sugar and spices in a bowl, add the hot tea, mix it well, cover and leave overnight.
The next day heat the oven to 180oC/160oC/ 350ofan.
Line a 900g /2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
Add the flour and salt to the fruit mixture and mix until the flour is mixed in.
Beat the egg in a small cup, add to the mixture, you may need a small amount of milk if it is not a dropping consistency.
Put the mixture in a loaf tin and smooth the top.
Cook for 40/50 minutes until the top is a nice golden colour and a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean.
Leave in the tin to cool then remove from the tin and wrap in kitchen foil and put in an airtight container for two days.
To serve, slice and butter generously. There is no butter in the making of this cake so you can do this with a clear conscience.
I hope you enjoy this cake, it was devoured with enthusiasm at the club camp at Porthcawl and is always enjoyed by my family.
I also made Welsh cakes at this camp and the recipe for those will be in the next Transporter talk magazine.
Happy Eating! Val Lewis
COMPETITION WINNER
Last issue we asked members to answer the following question to be in with a chance of winning a breathable cover for a Splitscreen or Bay window worth £125 courtesy of our friends at Just Kampers.
On the Volkswagen Type 2 T4, what type of brakes were fitted from the factory?
a. Disks throughout the lifespan
b. Drums throughout the lifespan
c. It is a trick question, the T4 only has front brakes
d. Disks initially, then changed to drums in 1996
e. Drums initially, then changed to disks in 1996
f. The rear brakes were the short lived electronic brakes
The winner, chosen at random, was Mark Broad Holcombe, it was a cover for a splitscreen or bay with a question about a T4 won by a guy with a T6! Mark was right that it was drums initially then went to disks. Several of you got it wrong!
