August 2017 , it's time to think about Christmas cake .
Place the following ingredients into a large bowl .
250 gm of well drained pineapple pieces
400 gm of sun dried ,diced apricots
250 gm of pine nuts
200 gm of mixed peel ..
Sir to mix and set aside .
Turn on your oven , preheating it to 125 deg C.
In a separate bowl measure out
225 gm of shredded coconut and add 1 dsp of orange blossom water , set aside for 30 minutes to allow flavour to infuse .
Next step is to set up your mixer and place 1 cup of butter or margarine into the mixing bowl with 1 and 1/2 cups of castor sugar and beat till it is light and creamy .
In a small bowl beat 6 egg yolks really well and gradually beat them into the creamy batter .
Now add the shredded coconut .
Beat in 3 cups of sifted self raising flour alternating with 1/2 cup of pineapple and coconut water .
Using a clean , dry bowl beat the 6 egg whites till they are stiff and then fold through the batter .
Add the fruits .
Pour into a well greased pan which has been lined with baking paper ( shape is optional ).
Place the pan on the lower shelf of your oven and bake for 5 hours , the cake is cooked when an inserted skewer comes out clean (check after 4 hours )
