Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 100 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice (or ground cinnamon and nutmeg)
- 100 grams raisins
- 100 grams dried cranberries
- 50 grams candied peel
- 50 grams almonds (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the honey and milk, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and mixed spice.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined and no lumps remain.
Gently stir in the raisins, dried cranberries, candied peel, and almonds (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve slices of the Isle of Wight Farmhouse Cake with a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy!
