Moist fruit cake

Another Annette Syms recipe, this time from Symply too good to be true vol 1.

Ours turned out darker than the recipe in the book. 2 were made....one for my family and one for my mother and both have the same dark tint. It smells divine and i'll upload another picture once we have cut into it.
