The other day I met a gal from the UK in the crafts chat room. We talk just about as much if not more about recipes than crafts. lol This is a recipe for a fruit cake that really sounds good but I have a problem. All ingredients are measured in ounces. She said I needed to translate into cups. I have no problem with the liquid ingredients but do not know how to convert the try ingredients into cup measurements. Maybe one of your NancyLanders perhaps from the UK could help me. Here is the recipe.

Fruit Cake

8 oz. sugar
8 fluid oz. Milk
6 oz. butter or similar fat
8 oz. dried fruit (she said whatever is available - she mentioned something that sounded like a white raisin but larger

Place 4 ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil. Take off heat and cool. When cool add 14 oz self rising flour (she was specific about the self rising) & stir. Put in either one 2 lb. tin or two 1 lb. tin. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees (less if smaller tins)

This sounds like about the easiest fruit cake recipe that I have ever seen so would sure like to try it.
