Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Fruit

  • 1 cup mixed dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a small loaf pan to ensure the cake does not stick after baking.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sweetened condensed milk, and mixed dried fruit. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can affect texture.
  3. Pour batter into pan: Pour the mixed batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top if needed.
  4. Bake the cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. To check doneness, insert a skewer or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean without batter.
  5. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • The cake is moist and dense; avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.
  • You can substitute mixed dried fruit with your favorite dried fruits or nuts for variety.
  • Ensure your self-rising flour is fresh for best rise and texture.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
