Ingredients
5 egg
1⁄4 cup brandy
1⁄4 pound breadcrumb
1⁄4 pound flour (plain flour)
1⁄2 pound butter
1⁄2 pound brown sugar
1⁄2 pound currant
1⁄2 pound raisin (seedless raisins)
1⁄4 pound lemon zest
1⁄8 pound almond
1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Beat the eggs well and stir in the brandy, then blend in the butter and sugar. Chop up the almonds. Stir in the fruit and add flour. Mix well then add the breadcrumbs and almonds.
Bake the mixture in a pan at 375°F (177°C) for about 3 hours. Check by poking with a fork. When the mixture is gelatinous not liquid, it's about done. Scoop up a spoonful and cool to test.
