1. Place sultanas, raisins, apricots, ginger, fruit juices, butter and sugar into a large saucepan and heat slowly until butter has melted. Increase heat to bring to the boil. Simmer uncovered for 3 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Place mixture into a large mixing bowl.
2. Pre-heat oven to 150deg.C. Line a 20cm cake tin with Glad Bake.
3. Break eggs into a small bowl and lightly beat before adding to the fruit mixture with the sifted dry ingredients. Mix together well before spooning into prepared cake tin. Smooth the surface. Bake for about 1 1/4 hours or until cooked when tested with a wooden skewer.
4. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. This cake will keep for 2 weeks.
