- Sieve the flour a spices into a large mixing bowl

- Add the dried fruit and stir through

- Pour the liquid mixture and beaten egg into the bowl and stir through until no flour is visible (I realise it looks icky at this part but wait until it's cooked :] )

- Gently poor in the mixture and even it out with a spoon so it is all level

- Place into the oven (top shelf preferable) and bake for one hour

- When it is cooked poke a skewer through the middle and if it comes out wet it needs a few more minutes cooking time.

- Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack. Now you have a fruit loaf to share with friends and family. Enjoy!
