INGREDIENTS
380g self raising flour
280g sugar
5 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
200g raisins & sultana mix
300g margarine/butter
METHOD
STEP 1
Begin by preheating your oven at 180C & preparing the baking tin by greasing it with butter and adding a greaseproof paper at the bottom of the tin.
STEP 2
In one bowl, add the margarine and beat it using a hand beater, then add some sugar at a time and keep beating until the sugar is all combined. Add one egg at a time and keep beating, until all the eggs are incorporated into the mixture. Add vanilla essence and the flour in parts, and fold into the mixture using a spatula. Lastly add your raisin & sultana mixture and fold into the cake mixture.
STEP 3
Add your fruit cake mixture to the baking tin & level it then bake in the oven for about 40 minutes. To ensure the cake is baked fully, insert a skewer and if it comes out clean you know the cake is ready. Take it out of the oven and let it cool before removing the cake from the tin.
