Dessert Baked

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ pound self-raising flour
  • ½ pound butter
  • ½ pound (4 ea.) eggs
  • ½ pound caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ pound assorted dried fruit (currants, sultanas, and raisins, with perhaps a lesser quantity of glacé cherries; optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F or Gas Mark 4).
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs and add the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually sift in the dry ingredients.
  5. Transfer to a greased and floured baking pan.
  6. Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted shows no moist crumbs when removed.

Notes

½ pound (or lb) is equal to 1 cup or 8 oz or approximately 227 grams (or g). Needless to say, in this recipe, 250 grams of each ingredient could be used.
