Auntie June's Pineapple Fruit Cake

I'm yet to make this cake, but my aunt assures me it's easy and delicious.  I will be making it and will note any tweaks I make.

4 slices of pineapple (fresh if you can) finely chopped
12oz self raising flour
8oz unsalted butter
8oz brown sugar
12oz mixed fruit
2oz glace cherries, chopped
2 large eggs (free range) beaten

Deep cake tin, greased and lined

Preheat the oven to 170°C, 325°F, gas mark 3

Place all the fruit into a large mixing bowl and mix.  Melt the butter and sugar over a low heat and then add to the fruit, mix thoroughly and allow to cool.  Sift the flour and add to the fruit along with the eggs.  Mix well using a wooden spoon.  Pour into the cake tin, level making a dip in the middle so the cake rises evenly.  Bake for 2 hours, test cake with a cake tester, if it comes out clean you're done.
