ICCHFC: Week 51 - Johnny’s granny’s fruit cake mash up (aka fruit loaf)

Sara used a secret recipe to create and incredibly light and yet rich fruit loaf. I have never had such a fluffy cake laden so heavily with fruit. An absolute beauty.

So it is with great pride that I bring you the secret recipe and I can promise you will not be disappointed.
