NO FUSS FRUIT CAKE.

I love the simplicity and flavour of this cake, it needs no icing, it is just delicious. Ingredients.....1 x 440gm can of crushed pineapple, 500gm of mixed fruit, 125gm of butter/ marg, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of dried mixed spice, 1 tsp of bi carb of soda, 2 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 cup of plain flour, 1 cup of self raising flour. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Line and grease a deep 18cm round / square cake pan. Combine the the undrained pineapple, mixed fruit, butter/ marg, sugar, spice and bi carb of soda in a large saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Now turn off the heat and set aside to cool. When the mixture is cold, use a wooden spoon to mix through the beaten eggs and flour mixture. Mix well to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave cool in the pan for 20 minutes and then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
