Method :
Mix together the flour, bran,
salt, soda, cream of tartar, mixed spice, cinnamon and sugar. Rub the butter through with your
fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix the golden syrup with milk and
add gradually to the dough. Stir in the sultanas and mixed
peel. Grease a "billy can" and lightly
flour it. Put in the dough, bake in the
ashes for 11/2 hours. If you cannot obtain a "billy
can", use a loaf tin, tightly wrapped in several layers of foil.
Your friends or family will be really
impressed if you produce this warm spicy cake at your next picnic. Make
the dough before you leave home, of course, and bake it in the ashes of
the fire at the picnic. In Australia the mixture is baked in a "billy
can".
