I had to almost double the cooking time however as it sank in the middle the first time I tried it. 3 to 3.5 hours at 150°, I'd say.... still stayed moist but lovely juicy fruit, and yes I used the whiskey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604940462161310618.post-25098058576177176522022-11-25T21:06:20.955+00:002022-11-25T21:06:20.955+00:00Everything went well until it split in half while...Everything went well until it split in half while taking it out of tin but it tastes great so I have two instead of one .I-have a fan oven but I baked it on 130 cto compensate…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604940462161310618.post-4567023155355781722020-12-01T19:50:51.831+00:002020-12-01T19:50:51.831+00:00Hi this boiled cake is lovely...

My dad was a Master Baker & Confectioner so smells of wonderful things coming out of the oven bring back wonderful memories. I can't wait to try some of these starting with the Irish Boiled Fruit Cake or maybe the Iced Ginger Cake or perhaps. .... Oh blast - I'll just do several at once & invite some friends for afternnoon tea! 😛artyfartybevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882515851344302986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604940462161310618.post-38653114698183335952016-12-01T16:38:15.628+00:002016-12-01T16:38:15.628+00:00I am so making this!
