Christmas Cake Recipe - Easy Fruit Cake that's beautifully moist!
An easy Christmas cake that turns out perfect every time. No creaming, beating or soaking of fruit required! Plus tips on storage and feeding your Christmas cake.
Feeding your fruit cake in the weeks leading up to Christmas helps to build and intensify the flavour of the cake, and will ensure it's beautifully moist.
Oven Temp:
Bake in the oven at 150C/300F (fan) for 45 minutes, then 140C/275F (fan) for a further 60-75 minutes - until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Alcohol-free Christmas Cake:
For a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the alcohol with cold tea, fresh orange or apple juice.
You can then feed the cake with either:
1. Cold tea
2. Fresh orange or apple juice
3. Ginger cordial mixed with water (2 tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water)
4. Rum flavouring mixed with water (⅛ tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water).
If you do this, don’t make the cake any earlier than November, as juice (as opposed to alcohol) could start tasting funny after more than a couple of months.
The full Christmas cake recipe is available on our site:

3/4 cup (175g) unsalted butter, chopped

Healthy Christmas Fruit Cake - Grain Free, Dairy Free
This week I made a fruit cake for my mum's birthday! My mum is grain free and dairy free, and she loves healthy cakes with fruit, so this was the perfect cake to make for her :). This cake does use alcohol (amaretto), however to keep it child and family friendly, it was removed.
(Sorry for all the re-focusing :/)
This was not my own recipe, but you can check out the full recipe by Monique from Nourish Every Day at the link below:
