- Cocoa- 3 tbsp.
- Salt- 1/2 tsp.

Method-
Take a large bowl and add all the ingredients, and mix together very well for 10 minutes.Preheat oven to 180 deg.C and bake for 45 mins. in a well greased and lined pan.

Hey dearie...that's an awesome cake. Do you think I could avoid the coconut n still get the same results?? I have a quickbread (sweet tea bread)made n clicked. Will you allow me to send that to your event??
fruit cake in a jiffy..wow..what does vinegar do in a cake..pardon my ignorance....
Shella- Yes you can definitely avoid the coconut and still get awesome results, and yesss! do send in that teabread to me!!
Rachel- I think it has some acidic reaction with the soda, which can make the cake rise similiar to an egg,in fact you can omit the egg in this recipe too just add a tbsp. extra of milk.
I love the way you have presented this cake dearest, what a great gift!
this cake looks delicious - I love the idea of making fruit cake without all the palaver - and chocolate improves everything - have got this on my to do pile as one easy way to use up some dried fruit left over from Christmas - thanks
