Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups mixed fruit
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 3 3/8 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
  • 2 apples
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Method

  • 1. Cover the mixed fruit with water in a pan and boil gently until all the water is absorbed. Drain and cool.
  • 2. If you're making the applesauce, dice the apples (leave skin on), and place in a pan with the cinnamon. Add water to cover the apples halfway. Bring to the boil, then simmer until you can mash it up.
  • 3. Mix the applesauce, concentrate, oil, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl.
  • 4. Sift in the rest of the dry ingredients.
  • 5. Carefully stir in the mixed fruit, then transfer to your cake tin.
  • 6. Bake at 175 degrees C for about an hour.
