Tea break time

[Cassiepod]

I've just hjad a lovely slice of cake wiht my mid morning coffee. It's so scrumptious I though it would be worth sharing with the world. Recipe was given to my mum by a lovely lady from her SWRI group. I make it in a 8 3/4" round tin whcih is just large enough. As noted it's very fruity and you could probably cut back on the fruit to reduce cost and still have a really lovely cake. Enjoy!
