Iced Apricot Fruit Cake

Name: Iced Apricot Fruit Cake
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 115 g Butter; 115 g Light muscovado sugar; 3 Eggs; 175 g Self-raising flour; 75 g Glacé cherries; 150 g Sultanas; 115 g Ready-to-eat dried apricots; 1 tbsp Apricot jam; 1 tbsp Water; 115 g Icing sugar; Ready-to-eat dried apricots

I nicknamed this wee cake, 'The Harry Potter Loaf'. All because of my Granda giving a score of 9 and 3/4. He's a tough nut to crack when it comes to getting a 10 but that's what you want, honest and straight reviews. It means that the finished product will be worth it and believe me this one is. It's moist, delicious and packed with fruity flavour! The icing gives it a lovely sweet hit, making it the perfect combo to accompany any warm cuppa. Trust me this wee loaf will disappear in no time. It will be as if Harry Potter waved his wand at it and 'poof' it's gone!
