This is just one of those cakes you throw together and I find it's people who don't cook much or ever bake who think it's really nice. I have a friend like that and this is the first cake I have ever known her to make but she was very pleased with it because she cooked it ;D

This cake sounds like one I have made with fruit juice; some of my friends have used choc milk.

Ingredients

375g mixed fruit
400 ml fruit juice i.e. apricot nectar (can or bottle)
2 cups SR flour

Method
Soak fruit in juice for at least 6 hours
Add flour and mix well
Pour into greased and lined cake tin
Bake in moderate oven for 1 hour

Different flavours of juice give different flavour.
I got the recipe many years ago from friends and also from a patchwork web site.

Hope it is OK to add a different idea here on this post.
