Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
3 x Eggs
1 cup Honey
1/2 cup Shortening (suet, marg, whatever)
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 x (to your taste) Tbsp ground ginger (up to 3)
1 tbl Mango Madness or other fruit based hot sauce, plus
2 tsp Baking powder
2 cup Flour
1 x Carrot (grated)
1 x Apple (grated)
1 cup Raisins
1 cup Nutmeats (I use walnuts)
1 cup Chopped dates (optional)
Instructions:
Instructions: Mix first three ingredients together and blend well. To this add the spices, hot sauce and baking powder - blend well. Add the flour and then fold in the rest of the stuff. This makes a pretty thick batter.

Grease and flour a ring mold. Pour in batter and bake at 400 degrees Farenheight for about an hour or until set. Do not overbake.

(Purists can put the batter in a pudding mold and boil it for 3 hours!)

Cake keeps well if wrapped and stored in a cool place. I like to wrap it in cheesecloth soaked in cream sherry and then wrap in aluminum foil but this can be omitted.
