Ginger Kick Fruit Cake

I’m conflicted about this recipe

Is it a homage to my incredible grandmother? Or is it a travesty that I adapted her recipe?

Maybe when I get to visit her I‘ll take a loaf and ask her opinion

I was recently gifted a selection of delicious herbal teas and was challenged to make something with one of them

I was instantly drawn to the Ginger Kick tea and realised that it was the missing ingredient for the recipe that had been brewing in my head

You see, recently I came across a file of recipes that I have been collecting for decades now

Gran’s Fruit Loaf was one of them and I wondered if I could pimp it a bit

Wow! Adding the spicy kick of ginger and the sweet summery tones of the fruit medley takes this from being a fabulous fruit cake to something altogether more complex and delicious

Enjoy!
