Excellent! Not rich like most other fruitcakes. I didn't have the candied fruit, so I substituted 1 cup reg. raisins, 1 cup white raisins, 1 cup cranberries,and 1 cup blueberries. Also used brown sugar instead of white sugar.all else remained the same. Very good!

Don't panic! The mixture amost filled my baking tin, and I was worried it would spill over during cooking, but it stayed in the pan. I cooked it for the time given but the top was a little over-done although the middle was just right, so next time I placed a piece of baking parchment with a small hole in the centre loosely over the top of the cake for the first hour of cooking, removing it for the last 30 minutes, and this gave a much better result. This is a great cake and already a firm favourite.

This is probably one of the better boiled fruit cakes that have come out of Ireland. I like it exactly the way it is printed and it is very good spread with real butter. Thanks again for a great simple recipe.

I made this last night and it was not very good at all. Maybe it's just because it's fruit cake?
