BARRIBALL FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• Place mixed fruit and orange juice in a bowl and leave to soak over night or longer if needed.
• Preheat oven to 170°C.
• Once the orange juice has soaked in, add the self raising flour, spices and vanilla essence.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Line a medium cake tin with baking paper and spoon in the mixture. Level out the top and place in the oven for 1.5 hrs, or until the skewer comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and cool on cake cooler.
• I cut my cake up into 10 rows of 4 slices. I put 4 slices together in plastic sandwich bags and freeze so I only need to take out a few slices at a time.
• Is yummy with custard poured over for a dessert too.
