This recipe is fantastic. I made it for my boyfriend for valentines day, following other people's suggestions of marinating the beef beforehand in the wine and adding cream cheese at the end. I also used a better quality steak and simmered for 15min, rather than an hour, served it over fettucine, and it was an absolute hit.

This recipe is excellent! I made this cake for a christmas present to my parents who are extremely hard to please food critics and they absolutely loved it, mum is usually very critical of everyones xmas cakes but this got the thumbs up! I did replace the raisins and currants with dried figs, peaches, pears and some glace ginger ...which made for a not so traditional but excellent, rich and exotic cake, really moist and yummy.
