Simple Fruit Cake


  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups golden raisins and sultanas mix
  • 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven at 15oC. Wash and dry raisins and sultanas mix.
  2. Grease and line cake tin with grease paper.
  3. Sift all purpose flour and baking powder together. Add in the sugar and the salt.
  4. Beat in the eggs with the flour mixture, one egg at a time. Mix well.
  5. Beat in the butter until creamy and fluffy.
  6. Add in the dried fruits and mix well with a spoon.
  7. Turn batter into prepared cake tin, filling 2/3 full and spread batter evenly. Tap the cake tin on the work surface to pop any air bubbles.
  8. Bake 70-80mins. To test whether the cake is done, poke a skewer or a toothpick near the centre of the cake after baking for 1 hour. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  9. Remove from oven. Allow to stand for about 5-1omins before turning the cake out on a wire rack to cool.
Simple right? The one I baked taste a bit dry but it tastes much better after a day or two. You can add any dried fruits you like and probably with some lemon's rind.
