Fruit cake

Ingredients
225g self raising flour
1tsp mixed spice
100g butter or marg
100g caster sugar
175g dried fruit (I used sultanas, cherries and apricots)
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk

* heat oven to 180C and grease a 7 inch cake tin or a loaf tin
* sift the flour and spice into a bowl and rub in the fat until it looks like fine breadcrumbs
* stir in the sugar and fruit
* beat eggs and milk together and mix in to a soft consistency
* pour into the tin and bake for 55 minutes

If the cake sounds bubbly when it comes out of the oven, it's not quite done so give it a few more minutes
Cool the cake in the tin
