Pam's Virtually Fat Free Fruitcake is an ideal recipe for people who are looking for a healthier option while still enjoying cake. It is a simple recipe that is easy to make, so even people who are not experienced bakers can make it. The cake contains no added butter or oil, so it is virtually fat-free, and the combination of dried fruits and self-rising flour makes it a healthier option than many traditional fruitcakes. Though it has a lot of sugar, it's not entirely unhealthy as the cake is high in fiber and provides an essential boost of energy.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 160°C Fan / 180°C / Gas Mark 4.
2.	Grease a 20cm round tin or line it with baking paper.
3.	Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
4.	Make a well in the centre and add in oil, finally pour in milk and stir the mixture together until it is just combined.
5.	Pour the mixture in the tin and level it in a way that it is evenly distributed and then bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when tested.
6.	When it is baked, take it out of the tin and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
