The Easiest Fruitcake Ever! image

This has replaced our family Christmas cake it is so good. You can easily add or change flavour to suit yourselves. Suggestions: trying adding rum essence; add a handful of nuts and glace cherries at Xmas; or add small amount of chocolate chips. Requires overnight soaking. Freezes well.

Time 2h10m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 kg mixed dried fruit
2 cups brewed black coffee, cooled (I use decaff!)
2 cups self-raising flour

Steps:

  • Add coffee to fruit and soak overnight.
  • Next day preheat oven to 160 deg Celsius. Lightly grease and line a 21cmx21cm cake tin with baking paper.
  • Add the flour to the soaked fruit and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Bake for approximately 2 hours, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. (If any exposed fruit on top is browning too quickly, cover cake with loose layer of aluminium foil.).
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
