Old fashioned fruit cake recipe ????
Hi Neighbours, today I was blessed to be able to be with my Mother in-law and do some baking! I filmed her making her Christmas Fruit Cake. She is a wonderful lady and her Fruit Cake is so so good. I hope you enjoy the video and please consider subscribing, liking and sharing . Below is the recipe.
link to my Mother in law making this cake
Easy Christmas Fruit Cake (this freezes very well)
preheat oven to 300 F or 149 C
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 can of sweetened condensed milk ( 300 mls or 10 oz can
3 cups of minced meat
1 cup of green cherries (glace red and green cherries, also she cut the red and green cherries in half and dusted them with flout)
1 cup of red cherries
1 cup of mixed candied fruit for fruit cakes
Butter angel food pan, line with parchment paper and butter paper.
my mother in-law added her red and green cherries ( she dusted the red and green cherries with some flour)
add two slightly beaten eggs.
Incorporate the flour a bit at a time.
Mix in your sweetened condensed milk
add another cup of flour and incorporate that
add your 1 cup of mixed fruit and mix through ( she dusted these with flour )
add your 3 cups of minced meat
add you last cup of flour
mix everything together really well
transfer to your baking pan
bake for 2 hours (my mother in-law used 3 small loaf pans and checked them at the hour mark but took 1 and half hours for hers to cook and when I make it took around the hour maybe 1 hour 5 minutes)
check cake to see if done with a toothpick through the center of cake see if it comes out clean. The cake was nice and light brown colour.
After cake is done she let it cool for a bit like 15 minutes
turned them out of pan transfer to baking rack let cool completely
soaked cheese cloth in few ounces of dark rum
wrapped the cake and store in cool dark place and in 3-4 weeks will resoak the cheese cloth in dark rum and rewrap until Christmas
when ready to serve you can put a nice cream cheese frosting on

Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Fruit Cake.
Bakers tend to have a list of 'must haves' they want to bake for Christmas. For me, I always like to make this Fruit Cake. I just love the combination of nuts and dried and candied fruits with barely enough cake batter to hold it all together. If you have ever made a British Fruit Cake you know that what really sets this cake apart is how we repeatedly 'feed' (brush) the cake with alcohol over several weeks. This gives the Fruit Cake a subtle alcohol flavor and a moist texture, plus it also acts as a preservative so the cake can be stored for ages and ages. Of course, the step of repeatedly brushing the cake with alcohol means we have to make it well in advance of Christmas.
