Quick and Easy Fruit Cake

I enjoyed making this quick and easy fruit cake recipe over and over again.  It is not that sweet with brown sugar, just the right size of a loaf tin as I prefer consuming it at room temperature than cold from the fridge and it doesn't request for soaking of the fruits in rum or brandy, as fruit cake is my grandson's favourite.

Ingredients:
100g unsalted butter
100g brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
100ml. milk
225g self raising flour (sifted)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (sifted)
275g dried mixed fruits  (dried orange peel, green and red cherries and raisins)
6 whole red and green cherries (halved)

Methods:

1. Beat butter and sugar using an electric stand mixer until light and creamy.
2. Gradually stir in the milk, eggs, flour and dried fruits into the butter and sugar mixture.  Mix well.
3. Pour the batter into a greased loaf tin.
4. Arrange the red and green cherries on the top.
5. Bake in a preheated oven of 170 degree Celsius for about 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
6. Let it stand in tin for 5 minutes.
7. Turn onto a wire rack.
8. Tea is served!
