fold in the flour and beaten eggs. Add the fruit mixture a little at a time until it is evenly blended. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin, level the top and bake in the preheated oven for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. If you think the cake is becoming too brown, place a double thickness of greaseproof paper over the top of it as protection. When the cake is quite cold, wrap it in greaseproof paper first then either place it well in a plastic cake box or wrap it in silver foil. This cake will keep for a few weeks.
