Ingredients

170g (6oz) sugar
115g (4oz) soft marg
3 large eggs
225g (8oz) self raising flour
225g mixed fruit
55g (2oz) walnuts chopped

Handy Hint

Instead of the walnuts I sometimes put in 115g/4oz ground almonds and this makes the cake lovely and moist.

Method

1. Cream the margarine and sugar.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
3. Sift in the flour and fold in along with the fruit and nuts.
4. Put the mixture into a greased and lined loaf tin and bake at 160C/325F for approximately 1hr 15mins to 1hr 30mins or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the cake.
Enjoy!!
