X'mas Specials # ‘Sunken’ fruit cake

The main reason why I gave the name to the cake is because the name tells everything, this is my first ever baked cake… so u know why the fruits sunk …..But it turns out quite nice eventhough it’s not perfect….

Ingredients
1 packet of mixed fruits skin-approx 200g, 150g of raisins, 50g of chopped red & green cherries.
150 of margarine, 100gof castor sugar, 50g of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, 5 eggs-separate the yolk & white, 200g of multi purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder

Methods
Beat the margarine, castor & brown sugar, vanilla essence until fluffy
Add in the egg yolk one by one and beat it until even
Add in the multi purpose flour & baking powder-stir evenly
Add in the mixed fruits skin, cherries & raisins-stir evenly & set aside
Beat the egg white until fluffy & add into the mixture slowly
Pour into a greased baking tin & steam for 1&1/2 hour under high heat

After asking around, I was told that the fruits must be mix with some flour or marinate with lemon juice before adding into the mixture in order for the fruits not to be sink....
