Eating in: Mom's Fruit Cake

It has been almost a year since we have moved in. We have yet to use our built-in oven! It is not that we don’t have anything to bake or make, but somehow, we tend to withdraw ourselves from using the state-of-the-art oven.

It ends today! My mom has finally decided to bake a fruit cake! She managed all the ingredients, from weighing to beating the batter. While I read up the oven’s instruction manual so it will function perfectly.

The following is the simple recipe of my mom’s fruit cake.

Mom's Fruit Cake

150g self-raising flour
1 box of sultanas
250g butter
250g sugar
5 eggs

1. Beat sugar and butter to a smooth batter.
2. Add eggs one by one into batter and continue beating for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add in self-raising flour into batter and blend well.
4. Finally, add in the sultanas and blend well. Then bake!

Remember to preheat the oven at 160 deg for 15mins. Next, bake at the same temperature for 75-80mins.

Perhaps my next bake should be green tea cake or banana cake. It might as well be another fruit cake. Haha! Till then, I shall wait…
