FRUIT CAKE

Updated: May 18, 2020

This Everyday Fruit Cake, cooked in a loaf tin, is almost apologetically easy. Just weigh, stir and cook, which is just as well for me because itโ€™s in great demand in our house. For special occasions, I will make something that takes more effort but, for everyday eating, this cake is perfect โ€“ tasty, quick and easy.
