- Place fruit in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. You may need more than one cup of water, depending on what dried fruit you use.
- Simmer for two minutes, then cool.
- Pour fruit into a large mixing bowl. Add melted butter, bicarbonate soda, eggs and sugar. Blend mixture.
- Sift in flours and mix until well blended.
- Line a square cake tin with greaseproof paper. Pour mixture into tin and spread evenly.
- Bake in a moderate oven for 90 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack.
- Tips. You can add a dash of sweet sherry or brandy to the fruit while it is simmering if you prefer a bit of alcohol in the cake.
