How to make a Light Fruit Cake

Ingredients:
300g Unsalted Butter/Margarine Softened
250g Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract/essence
Pinch of salt(If using unsalted butter/margarine)
5 Eggs

4Tsp Baking Powder
150g Mixed Dried Fruits(Mix equal amounts of raisins, orange peels, red glacé cherries to make 150g)You can add more fruits if you like

There are many different varieties of fruit cake and one common thing in them is the inclusion of the dried fruits like the the raisins or candied fruits like glacé cherries, mixed orange and lemon peels, nuts and sometimes spices and optionally soaked in spirits for a longer shelf life and taste.
What I have here is a simple cake recipe with a soft crumble with the addition of the fruits. The amount of fruits is dependent on one's taste and preference.
If you don't have the fruits, you can still enjoy the cake plain or chocolate marbled.
