Judge’s comments:
My first reaction when I saw the photo was that your cake lacked shape, not baked in a loaf tin as expected. Having read your recipe I now know that the mixture is made into a soft dough, which is then shaped into a round on a baking tray, like a large scone. The recipe includes a high proportion of nuts and dates so should be very tasty. Another time you could try baking it at a lower temperature for longer so that it is evenly baked throughout. You have made a rustic cake which is deliciously fruity and perfect to accompany a cup of tea or coffee.
