Thank you for this lovely recipe. I made it for a St Patrick's Day party. I followed the directions pretty much with the exception of adding a 1/2 tsp cardamom (just cuz I like it). I used pineapple-apricot jam because I couldn't find lemon marmalade. I used black raisins, dried apricots and cranberries. Not sure if the jam and raisins made it a bit too sweet. I'll probably cut the sugar to 1 cup next time, and try orange marmalade. I do want to make this again. It's a keeper!

Made this for a lunch celebration honoring Martin Luther King and all nations to honor my Irish roots. Bread could have been very dry but I squuezed as little liquid from fruit as I could-dough was very dry crumble when mixed, I added 1/2 cup hot cooled tea and baked 45 minutes.

My batter didn't pour -was crumbly, so added water. Next time I'll reduce flour and save the soaking tea to moisten if needed! Glad to have read the 'over cooked' reviews, as it is still baking and I'll check @ 45 min.

Tasty, but very heavy. This is a VERY dense cake. As other reviewers said, you have to spoon the batter into the pan...there is no pouring this one. I let the cake cool for at least two hours, but it still stuck in the pan. I put some hot water in my sink and sat the pan in it - the cake loosened right up and came out without a problem.

I made this for our St. Pattys dinner... For dessert. I did the recipe exact except I could not find lemon marmalade, so I used orange. I cooked this in a bundt pan on 325convection for 40 minutes. I chose a fruit mix with apples, pears, apricots, plums. TASTY. After it cooled I put a vanilla glaze on top. We all enjoyed it, even the kids. It even works for breakfast...

It is eaten as a bread, not a cake and is a regular sight at the breakfast table! Excellent toasted - but only on one-side of course!

This was delicious. I was a little hesitant at first. Soaking the fruit in tea was little odd but it came out really good. Would make a great morning cake.

I was frankly surprised at how good this was. I made it for a St. Pat's day party (held a few days before it) and it was devoured with oohs and aahs. Instead of sticking objects in the bottom, I made little fortune-cookie like strips of paper, wrote "predictions" on them and rolled them up, putting them in the hole in the center of the cake. Everyone was given one of these with each serving, and it was great fun reading them aloud one at at time.

I made this March 17th 2009, and unfortunately it came out really hard, even inside behind the crust, and we couldnt eat that day but we put in a whole apple sliced up and placed it and the cake cut in slices into a air tight container for the night. By the next day it was edible and the whole family enjoyed it. The appearance of the cake looked ok, but I think it overcooked. I cooked it right according to the directions, and baked it for an hour, at the temp it asked for, but I think that perhaps for our oven, that at that temp it was too much. Since they want another one today (the other is all gone), I will make another and bake for 45 minutes, not the whole hour, and check it and that may work for us. It was a good cake, the only thing is we couldnt eat it day one because it was hard and dry. The apple really changed all that. I have to wonder if the original recipe was for the celsius temp and that maybe when it was converted to farenheit (if it was) that that has something to do with it or if it was just our oven is a bit different. Allowing for these differences, I gave it four stars, not the highest rating.
