4 Ingredient Christmas Cake
* 1 kg mixed fruit (I add a packet of glacé cherries)
* 2 cups chocolate milk
* 1/2 – 3/4 cup Baileys (my preference)
* 2 cups self-raising flour
1. Soak fruit in milk & Baileys for 24 hours.
2. Fold in flour.
3. Line slow cooker with 2 layers of baking paper on bottom and sides. (I also double a long strip and put in first so easier to pull out when cooked).
4. Pour batter in and even out.
5. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Tea towel under lid.
