Prune, Raisin and Cherry Fruit Cake

This simple and delicious fruit cake ended my bakes for this week. We and my in laws were having a picnic in Lata Jarum, Raub Pahang and the fruit cake was a long 'said' item from my dear FIL.

I didnt use the ready made mixed fruit package, instead made my own mixed fruit of my my favorite dried fruits only..hehehe..

Here an easy peasy recipe you can whipped in 10 minutes.

250 g fruits {i used pitted prunes,black raisins & cherry}
1 orange, squeezed & zest
250 g butter {used SCS}
150 g soft brown sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
250 g superfine flour*
2 tsp baking powder*
1/2 tsp cinnamon*
1/2 tsp nutmeg*
Note* - mix all together


How to;

1. Placed mixed fruits and squeezed orange juice into a bowl and left set for 2 hours, longer is better.

3. Mix in vanilla & eggs.
4. Mix flour and fruit mixture alternately.
5. Bake in 8 inch pan for 1 hour @ 170 degree celcius or skewer came out clean.
