Grease an 8-inch loaf tin. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. (190 degrees C.).
Sift flour, baking powder and salt.
Mix sugar into melted shortening. Add eggs one at a time, beating well.
Add dry ingredients to egg mixture, alternately with milk.
Fold in lemon juice and dried fruits. Pour into tin.
Bake 50-60 minutes until golden brown.
While hot pour lemon syrup over loaf.
Syrup:
Stir sugar and lemon juice over low heat till sugar dissolves.
Note:
This cake freezes well, wrapped in foil and then put in a plastic bag.
