250g self raising flour, sieved
2 x 5ml spoons baking powder

Recipe



Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4.

Cut a circle of greaseproof paper to fit in the base of a 20cm loose based cake tin, then lightly grease the base and sides.

Mix together the flour, baking powder and soft brown sugar in a large bowl.

Add the dried fruit, grated carrot and bananas to the mixture.

Beat the oil into the eggs and pour into the bowl. Combine with a wooden spoon.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 1 - 1¼ hours. Insert a metal skewer into the cake, if it comes out clean, then the cake is cooked. Cool on a wire rack.
