Anthony received this recipe of "Annabel Langbeins"from his sister the other day as as she had just made it and said it was really good. Tony was keen to make it so he got it all togather as I cracked a bag of walnuts that we has sitting around and I have to say, it's really, reallyeasy and very good. It's the sort of cake that you could also chop and change around to suit what you have in the cupboard and we thought what would it be like if we subbed the orange for a lemon.

We used dried cranberries and sultanas but I guess you could make your own favourite selection and maybe even add a bit more fruit. Try making it with a lemon instead ???
