250 g stoned dates, roughly chopped
300 ml water
85 g plain flour
85 g whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground mixed spice
500 g mixed dried fruit, chopped (figs, sultanas, apricots etc. chopped, I tend to use the three listed above with some red berries)
50 g ground almonds
80 ml orange juice

Directions

1

Pre-heat oven to 170oC/Gas Mark 3 and line 2 loaf tins with baking parchment (this will make two flattish cakes, for a full-sized cake use just one tin).
2

Put the dates and water in a pan and bring to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
3

Sieve the plain flour, baking powder and mixed spice into a bowl. Add the wholemeal flour, mixed fruit and ground almonds. Stir to combine. Stir in the wet date mixture and the orange juice. Mix well.
4

Spoon into the tin(s). Bake for 50 minutes (170C / gas mark 3) or until a skewer comes out clean. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool.
5

Serve in slices with a nice cup of tea.
