6oz Caster Sugar

6oz Margarine

½ tsp Baking Powder

2 Large Eggs

¼ Pint Baileys

6oz of mixed dried & fresh fruit (Of your Choice)

Icing Sugar

4oz Icing Sugar

1 tbsp warm water

I tsp Vanilla Flavouring

Method

Heat oven to 140C/Fan. Butter and line a 1lb loaf tin with grease proof paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add eggs, sieve flour and baking powder into the bowl whisk through, then add all the fruit mix and Baileys. Fold/stir the mixture with a spoon till all combined.

Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf tin. Bake for  1Hr 10mins (Test with a skewer to see if cooked)

Remove from oven and wait 10 minutes, then remove from tin and place on a cooling rack.

While the loaf is cooling mix the icing for the top. Use a Spatula to spread over the icing.

Finish off by sprinkling some of the fruit on top for decoration.
