• 225g plain flour
• 2tsp mixed spice
• 175g butter, softened
• 175g soft, dark brown sugar
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 4 large eggs
• 575g Asda Mixed Dried Fruit
• 50g Asda Glacé Cherries, quartered
• 500g Asda Golden Marzipan
• 4tbsp apricot jam
• Chocolate mini eggs

1 Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin with a double thickness of baking paper. Sift the flour and spice together. Set aside.

2 In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until fluffy, using an electric mixer if possible. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour with the last two to prevent the mixture from curdling. Fold in the remaining flour, dried fruit and cherries until they are just combined.

3 Spoon half the mixture into the prepared tin. Roll out a third of the marzipan to a 20cm square, and press down lightly on to the cake mixture. Spoon the rest of the mixture over the top and level off using a round-ended knife.

4 Bake for 1 hour, then reduce the temperature to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2. Bake for a further 2 hours, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave until cold.

5 Warm the apricot jam and push through a sieve to remove any lumps. Warm again and brush over the top and two opposite sides of the cake. Roll out the remaining marzipan and use to cover the top and two opposite sides of the cake. Cut the cake into four squares and decorate with mini chocolate eggs, sticking them in place with a little apricot jam.
