I’ve made this countless times, and it always turns out well. I frequently substitute apple or pineapple juice for the orange, and it works extremely well with gram flour and a tsp of baking powder as a gluten free version.

I made mine with 1 kg fruit mix, 3 cups tea, soaked over night. Then add 3 cups s/r flour Cook for 2 and a half hours on 125c 26 cm tin I found the fruit juice too sweet. Very nice

Great recipe. I added some mixed spice and rum to the orange juice when soaking the fruit. Next time I will try it with GF flour.

I was so glad to find this recipe- I was searching for an egg-free cake as my mother in law is allergic to them and I was making them a cake for their 50th Wedding anniversary. The recipe worked brilliantly, is very easy and won lots of compliments! I doubled the quantity which makes a huge cake (serves about 30) but used only 3 cups of orange juice, as 4 made it too wet. Thank you for posting! Sarah

Tastes a bit like Christmas cake - if that takes your fancy. Don't forget to dilute the orange juice unless you like REALLY tangy cakes!! Easiest recipe I've ever done.
