This is my nod to a Christmas cake and one I absolutely love. You can decorate it to suit, but I love it with a little icing and some glazed fruit or nuts.

Pour into your lined loaf tin.
Place into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes.
To check the cake is cooked, place a knife or skewer into the centre of the cake, it should come out clean.
Leave to cool completely.
Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
You do not need to decorate this cake, however, you can decorate as shown using sugar-free icing, or cover with slices of clementines.
