I tried this recipe. Its better than most complicated ones. I just added about 1/4th cup orange juice and 1/4 cup milk to make it more moist. The cake turned out very soft and amazing❤️❤️

Your recipe was spot on! That caramel does magic. I’ve tried so many fruit cakes before and I love them all but this one hit the spot and I’ve been making it for the past 2 years. It’s a big hit with my family and it’s all gone the next day. One member even said that they could eat just the cake all day and skip food! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe 😊

Hi trisha...first of all..i love your recipes, the way you explain, so methodical and organized..you make it really easy for anyone to pick..congratulations on the fab work...I'm a big fan. 😊 just one Query trisha.... The brown sugar/demera I used wasn't really getting crushed in the creaming process...i cud still see the grains or rather taste them (had used bluebirds brand) .. Is it the brown sugar or the blades of the hand mixer that caused this.. I had to then use my batter spoon to complete the creaming process... Can regular grained sugar or powdered sugar be used as an alternative.. If so what would the quantity be.. Would it be the same as the brown sugar in this recipe?

@TheAspiringHomeCook 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Ayesha, its probably that brand that has a coarser grain, no issue with you hand mixer. You can use regular sugar if you like.

Have you tried on Amazon? I just buy what’s locally available at Coles / Woolworths in Australia. If you don’t have access to it, you can leave it out too. The only thing that will be different is the colour. You will get a slightly lighter colour cake, but it will still be really delicious.

Hi Trisha ☺️ I hope you're doing well. I'm going to soak the mixins in rum tomorrow. Before I get started with the process I have a few questions. I would love if you take some time out to answer them. 1. Since I'm soaking them well in advance does it require to be stirred up occasionally? If yes, what should be the frequency of it? 2. Should I store in a cool dark place or refridgerate? Awaiting your response. Thanks in advance! X

@TheAspiringHomeCook 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Varsha, I love that you plan ahead. 😊 If you add enough rum to cover all the fruit, then maybe just stir it through after a week and there after, you can leave it to stand without having to stir it through again. And just store it in a cool dark place. When you use the fruit for the cake, you can add your next batch of fruit to the same liquor and just top it off if needed.

Although I didn't have all the ingredients you mentioned, like the treacle, nutmeg, clove powder and the liquid to soak the fruits in where we live so I made do with some white grape juice instead....It won't have the same taste I'm sure but I'm pretty pleased with the color of it and the heady aroma that's filling up my home. Thank you so much for making and sharing such a nice recipe. I'll be sure to try some more of them out. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and New Year. God bless you!

Cut the cake today after baking on 20/12/2020. Had soaked the fruits for 11days. Could get only golden treacle . Baking took over 1 hr.
