Love a cake with almonds on top! Can imagine how good this would be with a cup of tea!

Sounds lovely, thanks for sharing

Looks like a simple recipe, my mum used to make something similar only that had equal amounts of fruit and liquid, usually fruit juice and more flour I think.

Personally not diabetic, but will have to make for those in my life who are! Thanks for posting.

Interesting use of peach iced tea.

Hi just made my first fruit cake but just wondering dose the cake come out sticky. Thanks for your help with this.

I can’t wait to make this for a wonderful lady who is a diabetic and just celebrated her 85th birthday.

A delicious looking fruit cake. A good one for those with diabetes.

  Have shared this with friends that need this type of cake recipe.

I love a good fruit cake and your recipe is easy and delicious!

I love this cake – it’s so good! Hadn’t thought to add the almonds and might try that thanks.

oh Peach tea how very interesting !!

This is a fantastic looking fruit cake.

Warning for this recipe. The measurements for the ingredients are wrong.

I soaked the kilo of dried fruit in 500 mls of the light tea as directed. I was a bit puzzled when the liquid didn’t cover the fruit. I then mixed in the single cup of flour but it didn’t do a thing for the mixture. I poured the “mixture” into a tin and it just looked like soaked dried fruit. Definitely not cake mix. I checked a few similar recipes and discovered I should have used ONE LITRE of light tea and TWO CUPS of self raising flour. Although the cake had been cooking for half an hour, I was able to take it out, mix in the extra ingredients, and now it looks like a cake. It was nearly an expensive mistake.

  Interesting that it started out as a 4 ingredient cake, an ingredient was added (almonds), but it was still only 4 ingredients.

It sounds really good but still high in sugars for a diabetic.

yum…..sounds wonderful and not just for diabetics.
Ive never been keen on the icing for Christmas cakes so the nuts work perfectly for me.
