This almond fruit cake is Meg's version of an old Scottish recipe. Dundee cake was first sold commercially in the nineteenth century by Keiller's, a famous marmalade producer, as a way of keeping their stuff busy when oranges were out of season. Lightly fruited and with a high ground-almond content, this is a lovely cut-and-come-again cake, ideal to eat at any time of year.
