  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  4. Combine the chocolate and butter mix with the egg mix, then gently fold in the flour, mixed spice, pecans, and cranberries until fully incorporated.

  6. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack until cooled completely.
