Missing recipe

Hi, I'm new here! My wife was a good cook before the Alzheimer's took hold and I want to maintain the same standards. I have lots of her recipes to help but a favourite is missing.
She baked a fruit cake using a recipe that was, as far as I can remember, from a Stork advertisment in a magazine. The title may have been "Turned out nice again" and it would be at least 40 years old.
I know that this is a long shot but there is a big family event soon and it would be great if I can present a replica of Delia's famous cake.
Can anyone help?

I've had a good scout around the internet and this is the only one I can find unfortunately. It was in a magazine in 1959. If not, here are links to the two fruit cake recipes on Stork's website:

www.bakewithstork.com/recipes/forest-fruit-cake
www.bakewithstork.com/recipes/modern-fruit-cake

hopefully one of those might be close

And here is a close up of the actual recipe for the Dundee cake

If Eggcelent’s finds are not what you’re looking for, maybe the manufacturers could help? Might be worth an email:

Thank you both. The all-in-one looks like the cake I remember. With the rubbish weather keeping me indoors, I will give it a try this weekend. I'll let you know how it works out.
