I tsp mixed spice

115g butter cut into small cubes

Grease a 2lb (900g) loaf tin

Put the flour, salt and spice into a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs

Stir in the sugar, chopped apple and raisins soaked in Saxby's Cider

Add the beaten eggs and stir well

Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for around an hour

Test it is cooked with a skewer. Turn out to cool.

Meanwhile make the glaze. Boil the sugar and Saxby's Cider for a few minutes until it has thickened. Poke holes in the cake and use a pastry brush to brush it all over so the glaze soaks in
