Easy Fruit Cake (Classic Version) - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make an Easy Fruit Cake. The British Fruit Cake is traditionally served during the Christmas season. It is full of dried fruits and nuts, laced with alcohol over several weeks, and often covered with marzipan and royal icing. The problem is that it's both expensive to make and it needs time to age. Luckily, there is a much simpler version of this cake for the last minute baker, and I call it an Easy Fruit Cake.
There is a newer version of this video here:

Super Moist Rich Christmas Fruit Cake Recipe - The Best & Easiest Traditional Christmas Cake Ever!
Classic Christmas Cake Recipe || Easy Fruit Cake || Christmas Plum cake || Rich and Moist Fruit Cake || Christmas Rum Cake || Traditional British Christmas Cake
Christmas cakes are made in many different ways. They can be light, dark, moist, dry, heavy, spongy etc. The cakes are made in many different shapes, with frosting, royal icing, a dusting of icing sugar or simple and plain.
This is is really simple, super moist and rich traditional Christmas Cake, loaded with juicy rum flavoured fruits in every single bite. The special taste of a fruit cake is mostly the aroma of that cake from the spices. The spices and dried fruits in the cake are supposed to represent the exotic eastern spices brought by the three Wise Men to the newborn King!
No special equipments are required to make this cake and the cool thing is that we will need just a wooden spoon to make this super delicious fruit cake.
Baking Time: 80-90 mins || Serves: 10-12 slices
Ingredients:
Plain flour: 225g or 1 and 3/4 cups
Butter: 227g or 1 cup
Sugar: 150g 3/4 cup cup
Mixed spice: 1 tsp (1/2 tsp Cinnamon, 2 Cardamom, 2 Cloves, 1/4 tsp nutmeg)
Baking powder:1 tsp
Baking soda: 1/2 tsp
Salt:1/2 tsp
Eggs (medium): 4
Vanilla Extract:1 tsp
Caramel Syrup : 3tbs [molasses/dark brown sugar]
Soaked mixed fruit: 3 - 4 cups [watch video:
Zest of 1 Orange
Orange Juice : 2-3 tbs
▶Substitute: You can use 'Dark brown soft sugar' instead of white sugar and skip caramel
My Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Grease a 20cm (8) cake tin and line it with greaseproof paper.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spice mix.
3. In a large bowl, beat together, the sugar & butter(at room temperature) until creamy. Gradually add the eggs, one by one.
4. Take the soaked fruits in a bowl and mix with the orange zest. You can add nuts (almond/walnuts/cashews - 1/2 cup) of your choice along with the fruits mix.
5. Add in the flour mixture and fruit mix into the egg mix and mix everything together, just until everything is well incorporated. This will help to avoid fruits sink at the bottom.
6. Spoon the completed mix into the cake tin. Pull a little dip back in the middle of the cake so that when it rises, it will level itself off better.
7. Bake in the centre of the oven for 1.5 hours(90 minutes). If it is browning a little too much cover it loosely with tinfoil after 60 minutes. The cake is cooked when a fine skewer, inserted into the centre, comes out clean and dry.
8. Make small holes all over the warm cake with a skewer and spoon the extra 50ml whiskey/ Wine/ Rum over the holes until it has all soaked in. Leave the cake to cool in the tin.
9. When the cake is cold, remove it from the tin, peel off the lining paper, then wrap it first in clean greaseproof paper / cling film and then in foil.
A small amount of brandy, sherry or whiskey (depending on your own favourite drink) should be spooned over the cake every week until Christmas. This process is called “feeding the cake”.
You also should turn the cake over, each week, before you pour another little bit of your favourite drink over it. This ensures that all that lovely alcohol penetrates to the very middle of the Christmas cake and definitely creates that Yum! factor on Christmas Day. Enjoy!
Tips:
▶ If you missed to prepare soaked fruits, soak the fruit overnight so it can absorb the alcohol and plump up. If you’re short on time, warm everything briefly in a microwave so the fruit will absorb the alcohol more quickly. Let the fruit cool completely before making the cake.
▶ For Non alcoholic version, soak the fruits in Orange juice/cranberry juice for couple of hours or leave it overnight in refrigerator.
Christmas Fruit Cake Without Alcohol -
▶How to make Caramel Syrup?
Add 1/2 cup sugar & 1 tbsp water in a sauce pan. Heat it & let the sugar melt. When the color of the melted sugar turns to golden brown to dark brown, remove the pan from fire & add 1/4 cup warm water to this. Be very careful at this stage, since the water tends to splash & can cause burns. Bring it back to the heat & boil for a few more mins, 3-4 mins or until it turns to honey consistency. Remove from fire & let it cool completely. You can prepare the caramel in advance & refrigerate it.
▶How to make Spice Powder?
Grind all the spices with a little sugar, to a fine powder in a mini grinder/coffee grinder
