I've just weighed everything out and put the fruit to soak, my 9 year old lo can mix & bake in the morning, she loves baking but only comes 7-9 a.m. & this is nice and easy - thank you!

I made this one (and many many others) for Macmillan week (should of been coffee morning but mine lasted a week), it went down really well even my son-in-law that 'doesn't like cake' loved this one..... I did glaze the top while it was still warm to make it nice and shiney and sticky

[MessybutHappy]

Even I might manage this! Thank you!
