Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, sugar, and fruit cocktail (including the juice). Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Tip: If you are using all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour, add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt to ensure the cake rises properly.
Step 3: Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, ensuring an even distribution. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Cuppa Cuppa Cake is best enjoyed warm, paired with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
