    A couple of comrades have asked for the recipe for the cake that was eagerly consumed on the first day of Conference. Here t'is.

    Apple Fruit Cake

    Ingredients

    * 200g butter, softened plus extra for greasing

    * 200g dark muscovado sugar

    * 3 eggs, beaten

    * 1 tbsp black treacle

    * 200g self-raising flour

    * 2 tsp mixed spice

    * 1 tsp baking powder

    * 2 eating apples, grated

    * 300g mixed sultanas and raisins

    Method

    Heat oven to 180C (fan)/160C or Gas mark 4. Grease and line the bottom of a deep, round 20cm cake tin with greaseproof paper.  Beat the first seven ingredients in a large bowl until pale and thick.  Using a large metal spoon, gently fold in the fruit until evenly mixed.

    Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 50mins/1 hour or until the cake is dark golden and springy to the touch.  A skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean when it's ready.  Cuts into 12 slices.

    Good luck!
