Steps:
- Measure out the self-raising flour and sugar. Switch the oven to 170°C (fan)/340°F/Gas Mark 5 to heat up. The cake needs to go into a hot oven, so wait for it to reach the temperature before you start to mix the batter.
- Grease a 8" x 6" cake tin with vegetable oil or cake release spray, and line the bottom with baking paper (greaseproof paper or baking parchment). Lightly oil the top of the paper.
- Arrange the drained fruit in the cake tin.
- Put the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl and add the juice along with two tbsp cold water. Mix with a spoon or spatula to make a thick batter.
- Spread the batter over the fruit. Then gently shake the cake pan from side to side to spread the batter out. Put in the oven immediately to bake for 35 minutes.
- Test to see if the cake is cooked. When it's ready the top will be golden and springy to touch. A tooth pick pushed into the middle of the cake should come out clean. If not, return the cake to the oven for another 5 minutes before checking again.
- Let the cake stand for 5 minutes to cool and firm up.
- Put a wire cooling rack over the cake and carefully flip it over. Carefully remove the tin. Slowly and carefully peel off the parchment paper using a knife if any fruit gets stuck to it.

AUNT BERT'S FRUITCAKE COOKIES
Uncle Lucky and Aunt Bert's fruitcake cookies are a Virginian Christmas tradition. The cookies will soften and the flavour will mature when stored. The longer the cookies sit, the more the flavour will develop. They also freeze well.

Tips:
- Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Use a variety of fruits: This will give your cake a more complex flavor and appearance.
- Get creative with your frosting: You can use a simple glaze, a whipped cream frosting, or a cream cheese frosting. You can also add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other decorations to the frosting.
Conclusion:
Fruit cocktail cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can make a fruit cocktail cake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
