Holiday Fruit Cocktail Cake Recipes

SIMPLE TINNED FRUIT CAKE

Steps:

• Measure out the self-raising flour and sugar. Switch the oven to 170°C (fan)/340°F/Gas Mark 5 to heat up. The cake needs to go into a hot oven, so wait for it to reach the temperature before you start to mix the batter.
• Grease a 8" x 6" cake tin with vegetable oil or cake release spray, and line the bottom with baking paper (greaseproof paper or baking parchment). Lightly oil the top of the paper.
• Arrange the drained fruit in the cake tin.
• Put the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl and add the juice along with two tbsp cold water. Mix with a spoon or spatula to make a thick batter.
• Spread the batter over the fruit. Then gently shake the cake pan from side to side to spread the batter out. Put in the oven immediately to bake for 35 minutes.
• Test to see if the cake is cooked. When it's ready the top will be golden and springy to touch. A tooth pick pushed into the middle of the cake should come out clean. If not, return the cake to the oven for another 5 minutes before checking again.
• Let the cake stand for 5 minutes to cool and firm up.
• Put a wire cooling rack over the cake and carefully flip it over. Carefully remove the tin. Slowly and carefully peel off the parchment paper using a knife if any fruit gets stuck to it.
