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

Bryson's Baked Goods Prune Cake
This cake is very moist and delicious. It would make a great Holiday Cake.
How to line a tube pan video:
Prune Cake
1 C. vegetable oil
2 C. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 c. buttermilk
2 c. prunes, cooked and mashed
1 c. walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a 10 tube pan with cooking spray and flour well. In a large mixing bowl, cream the oil and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well. Sift flour with salt, soda and spices. Add to batter, a little at a time, alternating with buttermilk Mix well. Fold in prunes and walnuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 1/4 hours.
(To Cook Prunes: I use 1 large container of dried prunes. Pour them into a bowl. Add 1 1/3 cups water. Microwave until prunes are tender, and most of the water has been used. Drain remaining water, and mash.)
Buttermilk Icing
1 stick butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 T. light corn syrup
2 tsp. vanilla
Combine butter, sugar and buttermilk in a small saucepan. Bring to a hard boil, stirring constantly. Add baking soda. Cook until it starts to foam. After it foams, reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Add corn syrup and vanilla. Pierce cake with meat fork, and cover with half the sauce. Allow cake to cool, as icing soaks in. When cool, invert onto cake plate. Pour remaining icing, right side up, over surface of cake.
(This recipe belonged to my great-great grandmother, who was born in 1898, and died in 1966, and was given to her as young bride, when she married in 1917.)
