Soak 700 grams of mixed dried fruit in 600 ml of black tea overnight.

In a bowl, add the soaked fruit and stir.

Add 450 grams of self-raising flour to the bowl and mix.

Add 2 teaspoons of mixed spice and 0.5 teaspoon of ginger to the mixture.

Stir in applesauce as an egg replacement, leaving it in chunks.

Divide the mixture into two loaf tins.

Flatten the tops of the loaves to prevent burning.

Bake in the oven at 170°C for 1 hour.

Check if the cakes are done by inserting a clean skewer into the softest part and ensuring it comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool before slicing.
