This is a soft and moist Madeira-style fruit cake, crafted using a traditional Yorkshire recipe and lightly accentuated with glazed fruit pieces. The fruity bits inject a gentle tanginess into the vanilla sponge, making it a delightful snack for teatime, lunchboxes, or a quick treat. It’s suitable for vegetarians—and often halal-certified in UK retailers—packaged in easy-to-use individual slices.
