Stained Glass Cake Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Â Â glass or possibly bishopcakes, very popular in the US, are so called, one presumes, because they consist almost entirely of glace fruit and nuts, and the glace fruit has something of the translucency of a stained-glass church window.

Grand Marnier or possibly Cointreau.
- Butter a round 23 an cake tin and line with greaseproof paper. Butter the greaseproof. Chop the glace fruits roughly. Sift together the flour and baking pwdr. Fold in all the fruits, together with the nuts. Put the mix into the cake tin, wet hands and press mix down firmly.
- Bake in a preheated 150C oven for 1 1/2 hrs. Take cake out of the oven and drizzle the Grand Marnier or possibly Cointreau over the top. Leave the cake in the oven to cold to hot then wrap it, tin and all, in aluminum foil and chill overnight.
