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.

Fresh Apple Spice Cake
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Active: 15 min
Yield: 9 to 12 servings
Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dark rum, such as Mount Gay
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (2 oranges)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and 1/4-inch-diced (3 to 4 apples)
Vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs
Caramel sauce, such as Fran's, heated
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.
Place the pecans on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside. Combine the rum and raisins in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 60 seconds. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a medium bowl. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, just until combined. Drain the raisins, discarding the liquid. With a rubber spatula, fold the raisins, pecans, and apples into the batter. Spread into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool, cut into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.

Pumpkin Raisin Bread | A Sweet Pea Chef
Yummy pumpkin raisin bread! This is one super easy, quick, pumpkiny-delicious bread. I use just a touch of coconut oil and up the pumpkin puree to balance out for additional oil.
Oh my, it’s so tasty. The raisins keep it nice and moist and the pumpkin and all the awesome spices really shine.
For a healthier version, you can simply replace the flour with buckwheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour and you’re good to go with a clean flour. You can also completely substitute the brown sugar for coconut sugar. All versions are delicious.
