Spiced Raisin Cake

2 cups raisins
250g butter
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp grated lemon rind
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tablespoon apricot jam

TOPPING
1 cup sugar
1 cup whole roasted mixed nuts

Put raisins in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer 15 minutes. Drain. Chop butter into small pieces and stir into hot fruit. Beat eggs, sugar and lemon rind until combined. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg together and add to the fruit with the egg mixture. Spoon the mixture into a 20cm round tin, (line the bottom with baking paper). Bake at 160 C for 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool cake in tin 10 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack. When cold, brush top of cake with jam and scatter over chopped toffee nuts.

TOPPING
Melt sugar gently in a heavy-based fry pan until it starts to colour. Do not stir. Add nuts and pour out on a greased oven tray to cool. When cold, chop nuts roughly.
