Ingredients
100g pecan nuts, roasted
100g almond flakes, roasted
300g salted butter
185g dark muscovado sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
580ml buttermilk
60ml (¼ cup) spiced rum (optional)
500g cake flour
40g baking powder
2 tbsp mixed spice
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
zest of 2 oranges
500g wholewheat flour
290g fruit-cake mix
100g mixed peel
120g marzipan, grated
100g dried cranberries
200g glacé cherries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Grease and line a 40 x 30cm baking tin with baking paper. Set aside until needed.
Melt the butter and sugar together in a large saucepan over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Once cool, whisk in the eggs, buttermilk and rum, if using. Set aside.
Sift the cake flour, baking powder and spices together in a large bowl. Add the orange zest, wholewheat flour, toasted nuts, fruit-cake mix, mixed peel, marzipan, dried cranberries and cherries. Mix until well combined.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk mixture. Stir until just combined.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking tin and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool in the tin.
7 Remove the loaf from the tin and, using a serrated bread knife, cut the loaf into 50 strips, each measuring about 7cm . Arrange the rusks on baking trays and place them in the oven. Keeping the oven door ajar, set the temperature to 80˚C and leave the rusks to dry out, about 6 hours or overnight.
Store in an airtight container indefinitely.
