    Title: Fruit Cocktail Cake
    Categories: Cakes
    Yield: 8 Servings

    250 g Butter; plus extra to grease
    - the cake tin
    200 g Caster or granulated sugar
    3 Eggs
    200 g Tin fruit cocktail; drained
    200 g Self-raising flour

    Preheat the oven to 180?C (fan 160?C/350?F/gas 4) and lightly
    grease a 20 cm round or square cake tin.

    Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl with a fork or
    wooden spoon until well combined. Break in the eggs and mix together,
    beating until smooth.

    Add the fruit cocktail to the mixing bowl and stir through quickly.
    Add the flour, and mix well to combine into a soft, sweet batter.

    Pour the batter into the tin and bake in the centre of the oven for
    around 45 minutes, depending on the size of your tin. A shallow tin
    will cook faster, whereas a deeper tin will take its time. To check
    if it is cooked through, insert a sharp knife into the centre of the
    cake. If the knife comes out clean, the cake is ready. Allow to cool
    in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out and slicing.

    The cake can be enjoyed hot or cold.

    To Keep:

    Leftovers freeze well for up to 3 months, wrapped in foil or popped
    in a freezer bag.
