No scales cake recipe...

[CharlieBoo]

I have a recipe for the most amazing fruit cake which you don't use any scales. It's a really old recipes of my grandads.

2 cups of SR flour
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
1 egg
2 heaped tablespoons meted butter
1 cup of dried fruit/raisins/sultanas
Pinch of mixed spice.

Chuck in a big bowl, mix together, pour unto greased cake tin and bake or one hour. (Use same size cup for all ingreedients)

I'm not a baker but this is so easy, the kids love it, is great for lunch boxes and is cheap. I also sometimes put any banana that's going over in it, walnuts or apricots.

Does anyone else have any similar recipes they'd like to share that are quick and easy for a complete novice?

Forgot 1tsp of bicarbonate of soda!

Thanks will try it this weekend. My kids love fruit cake.

Would this work.in.a loaf tin and then served toasted?

Another easy fruit cake one with no eggs and no measuring
1 cup dried fruit
1 cup milk
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar

Soak the fruit in milk for around an hour. Add in sugar and flour. Pour into greased loaf tin and bake at gas 5 for about 40 minutes
Lovely toasted as well and a big hit with everyone

CharlieBoo can you post a temperature for your cake, I’m going to try it today
