Directions
1. Grease an 8-inch round or square cake tin with oil and line the bottom with greaseproof paper.
2. Preheat the oven to 350° F
MAKING

5. Stir in the sugar and fruits and peel.
6. Dissolve the soda in the milk then stir in the vinegar.
7. Gradually add the liquid to the dry ingredients, mixing quickly and lightly, only enough to moisten.

SERVING
