diabetic cake

I should call this diabetic cake or is it? 

500g mixed dried fruit
2 cups orange juice
2 cups self raising flour

Soak the fruit in the orange juice overnight
Mix in the SR flour

Spoon into a large cake tin or casserole dish

Cook for 1 hour at 150 degrees celsius in a fan forced oven
Or 1 hour at 180 degrees celsius in ordinary oven

When you stick a skewer in to check if the cake is cooked it will come out a little sticky but that is the fruit

I would like to put other things into the mix like almonds, walnuts, and I think that half a jar of marmalade would be yummy

Of course the cake is meant to be diabetic as it has no added sugar, however, if is full of natural sugar

That is why I call it diabetic cake or is it?

I made this cake for Christmas and used some of the slices as Christmas pudding with icecream.  It was totally yummy.  I like it much better than dark pudding or fruit cake.  The worst mistake I made of course is that when we finished eating the first cake I made another.  We had eaten all that by just after New Year.  You may not think that it was not so bad but there were only two of us eating the cake.  I would really like to try the cake with marmalade but I have made a resolution to give up cake and biccies etc.  so there will be no yummy cake for me anymore. 

I hope that you will enjoy making and eating this cake as much as I have.  Cheers.
