Introduction

Recipe actually uses 1 kg of mixed fruit; I could not find calorie info for this so entered raisins instead.
This makes a high sided cake therefore you cut each quarter into 6 pieces.

I have made this cake for several years and have never had problems leaving it sitting overnight on the kitchen bench, un-refrigerated.
