Fruit and Nut Cake

Absolutely bursting with flavour thanks to apricots, figs, dates, cranberries, pecans and walnuts. And very easy to make too.

This recipe pleases those with a sweet tooth, as well as those with more savory palettes – making it just perfect for gifts. Make as smaller loaves, pop in a cellophane gift bag with a bow and you’re done (and much better than giving a freaky garden gnome with dead eyes like the one in the photo).
