so long as it has baking powder in it, it will be fine. Baking soda in fruit cakes is often used to make them darker in colour, rather than as a rising agent.

And if you whipped the butter and sugar and mixed throughly between adding your eggs I reckon you'll be fine. I made mine this morning and it only had 1/4 of a teaspoon of BP in.
