Flake, Fruit and Nut Cake


Can I have this for my Birthday?!
3 Cadbury’s Flakes
225g butter or marg, softened
225g caster sugar
275g self-raising flour
25g cocoa powder
4 eggs
150g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
200g Cadburys Bournville chocolate, chopped
225g raisins
Cocoa powder or icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Grease and line a 20cm round, or 18cm square cake tin. Cut all the Flake into 1.5cm pieces. Cream together the butter or marg and the sugar.

Add the flour, cocoa powder and eggs to the bowl and beat until smooth. Reserve half of the pieces of Flake and 50g of the hazelnuts and plain chocolate. Fold the remainder into the cake mixture with the raisins.

Turn into the prepared tin and scatter with the reserved chocolate and nuts. Bake in a preheated oven, 150ºC for about 2 hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin. Serve lightly dusted with the cocoa powder or icing sugar.
