3 INGREDIENT FRUIT CAKE

3 INGREDIENT FRUIT CAKE
1 kg mixed dried fruit
2½ cups (625 ml) fruit juice
2 cups self-raising flour

Place mixed dried fruit in a medium saucepan and pour over 2 cups of fruit juice. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 150°C fan-forced or 170°C conventional. Line a 20 cm round spring form tin with baking paper and set aside.
Sift the self-raising flour over the soaked fruit and stir well until completely combined. Use the remaining half cup of juice if needed to make a moist mixture.
Pour into cake tin and bake for 2 hours on the lowest shelf.
Remove from oven and leave cake to cool entirely in the tin.
Wrap in foil and keep in an airtight container for 2 – 3 days before slicing.

Mae van der Westhuizen:
Ek maak elke jaar die koek en ek sit my spices ekstra in. Ek sit 5 ml elk kaneel, gemmer en mixed spice. Ek sit ook brandewyn oor sodra dit uit die oond kom en dan elke twee weke weer totdat ons dit eet.

Stien Rust:
Toets asb altyd of die koek gaar is na 2 ure en verleng die baktyd indien nodig.
