This Dark Christmas Fruit Cake is a fruitcake lovers dream! So this stir it up Sunday, this is the Christmas Fruit Cake Recipe you should be making! • Ingredients: • 375 mL (1½ cups) candied pineapple • 375 mL (1½ cups) candied cherries • 500 mL (2 cups) currants • 500 mL (2 cups) candied peel • 375 mL (1½ cups) seedless raisins • 250 mL (1 cup) brandy, rum, or bourbon • • 500 mL (2 cups) all-purpose flour • 10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder • 2 mL (½ tsp) baking soda • 2 mL (½ tsp) salt • 1 mL (¼ tsp) ground allspice • 1 mL (¼ tsp) ground cloves • 5 mL (1 tsp) ground cinnamon • 2 mL (½ tsp) ground nutmeg • 180g (175 mL / ¾ cup) butter, softened • 170g (175 mL / ¾ cup) packed brown sugar • 30 mL (2 Tbsp) molasses • 60 mL (¼ cup) strawberry, or raspberry jam • 5 eggs • 200g (375 mL / 1½ cups) chopped walnut halves (pecans) • Method: • Chop up the pineapple and cherries. • In large bowl combine; pineapple, cherries, currants, raisins, mixed peel, and brandy; cover and leave on the counter for at least 24 hours, or up to a week; stirring occasionally. • Preheat oven to 150ºC (300°F). • Line base a 13 x 9 (3.5 L) metal cake pan with parchment paper. • In small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. • In a really big bowl bowl; cream together butter and sugar. • When butter / sugar is light and fluffy beat in molasses and jam. • Then beat in eggs, 1 at a time. • Stir in flour mixture just until incorporated. • Add fruit mixture and walnuts; stir to combine. • Transfer to the prepared pan, smoothing top. • Bake cake for 1:45 to 2 hours, until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean but a little sticky. • You may need to lay a piece of tinfoil over top during baking if it browns too much. • Let cool in pan on rack. • Soak a double-thickness of cheesecloth in more brandy; wrap the cake in the cheesecloth and then wrap in plastic wrap.. • Refrigerate for as long as you can before eating. • This will keep in the fridge / freezer almost indefinitely if wrapped carefully. • **Tips: • Switch up the dried and candied fruit for anything you'd like to have in the cake - there is no 'right or wrong' way. • Switch up the alcohol of your choice for any that you prefer - or use apple / grape juice if you wish. • Fancy molasses gives a lighter flavour, but sometimes we'll use cooking or blackstrap. Sorghum or honey would also work. • Music by Dyalla Swain • / dyallas • Le Gourmet TV Is Now - Glen Friends Cooking! • #LeGourmetTV #GlenAndFriendsCooking • ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ • Please watch: 🔵 How To Make Bacon And Pea Pasta - Not Carbonara || Glen Friends Cooking BEST LUNCH EVER!!! • • Pasta With Bacon And Peas - Not Carbo... • ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ • Check out the ‘Merch’ in our TeeSpring store- T-Shirts, Mugs and more: https://teespring.com/stores/glen-fri... • Please consider donating through PayPal to help us continue creating quality content: • https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...
