Any recipe for a rich fruit cake will have a lower proportion of flour in relation to the weight of fruit added. Quite often there will be an additional raising agent like baking powder.
I don't imagine you will get into any real difficulty if you use use self-raising flour instead of plain flour but omit any additional raising agents. The cake may be somewhat higher and lighter than expected so watch the baking time - it may bake more quickly than the recipe suggests.

Can you use gluten free flour instead of self raising flour?
Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.
