1

Mix the dried fruits together with sugar,salt,cinnamon, mixed spices,water and margarine and bring it to boil under low heat. As you stir.
2

Let the mixture settle to cool before adding in your eggs, to avoid the eggs from cooking. Give it atleast 30mins to 1 hour.
3

Add in your eggs and sifted flour, baking powder and vanilla essence,lemon juice, and the lemon zest and mix it completely
4

Prepare your baking tray with margarine and dust it with little flour.

Preheat the oven at 140°c.
Put the mixture into the tray and shake it to move any trapped air and let it settle for 10 minutes to level.
6

Let the cake cook before removing from the tray.
Give it atleast 24hrs before eating it😊. It's usually more sweet 😋.
