Ingredients and Instructions:
1.
2 cups of dried fruit - sultanas and raisins - - - can also use apricots, dates, currants - any good combination of dried fruits - roughly chop larger pieces

2 cups of self-raising flour

Test with a skewer to make sure it's cooked all the way through.
Delicious! - - sliced and spread with butter
Store in a lidded cake tin - it will keep well for a good week - (or a bad one :) )
