Lardy Cake

Step #1

Add 25g of lard to the mix and make up following the instructions on the pack.

Step #2

Rest the dough for 10 minutes, then roll out to a 35x 35 cm (14"x 14") square. Spread half of the dough with half the lard. Sprinkle with half the fruit and half the sugar.

Step #3

Fold over dough to sandwich the added ingredients and rest again for 5 minutes before repeating the addition of ingredients as in (2), then using a fork prick right through the dough over the entire area.

Step #4

Brush the surface lightly with water, fold the dough in half to form a square and press down to seal the join. Place in a 180cm (7") well greased square tin. Prove in a warm place for 25-30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step #5

Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) gas mark 7 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step #6

Glaze immediately with 1 tablespoon of sugar dissolved in boiling water and sprinkle with caster sugar.
