(Note, the graph below shows lines but no inequalities shading)
Letting x be how many fruit cakes and y be how many sponge cakes, and all measures as kilograms, here's an accounting for flour and sugar quantities:

Which cake_____________flour_________________sugar
Fruit Cake___________0.5x____________________0.1x
Sponge Cake__________0.2y____________________0.2y
Total Materials____0.5x+0.2y______________0.1x+0.2y

The Required Cakes Inequality:
x+y>=5, gives us

Flour Sum Inequality:

The Sugar Sum Inequality:

Summary of the Inequalities:

Graphing those and shading the proper regions seem to point out x=1 fruit cake and y=4 sponge cakes. Another possiblility is 3 fruit cake and 3 sponge cake. Or another way to use the flour and sugar is 5 or 6 sponge cakes but none of any fruit cakes. A few other answers are found in the graph.
I present here the graph alone without any shading for inequalities:
