Cooking Instructions
- 1
FRUIT PREPRATION: Chop and soak the dry fruits in rum/wine and keep it in a bottle at room temperature. (You could do it 2 to 3 months ahead. Make sure you shake the jar once a while. Longer the better. I do a year in advance)
- 2
CARAMEL PREPRATION: In a heavy bottomed pan, add the sugar and a tbsp of water on medium high heat. The sugar will start to melt and start to change colour. Swirl the vessel a couple of times. Slowly the colour will become a little dark golden brown. Turn off the heat, immediately pour half a cup of water, stir and mix well (Wear oven mittens and a long sleeve shirt. Caramel is hot and can splatter, especially when adding water).
- 3
CAKE BATTER : Sift the flour along with dry ingredients and keep aside.
- 4
Separate egg yolks from the whites, beat the yolks and vanilla till golden and creamy.
- 5
MIX Sugar and butter. Beat very well with Mixer.
- 6
Add yolk mixture little at a time alternating with little flour and combine till smooth.
- 7
Pour the caramel syrup and beat till everything is smooth and combined.
- 8
Add soaked fruits and fold to the mixture.
- 9
Beat the egg whites until light and frothy before folding them into the cake mixture.
- 10
Grease the cake pan well and line with parchment paper. Pour batter up to half of the cake pan.
- 11
Bake for 60 min at 325F or until tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean.(Preheat the oven first before starting and make sure the rack is in the center)
- 12
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for some time. Invert and let it cool well before cutting. Enjoy :)

My recipe uses a large variety of dried fruit and nut which is steeped in alcohol for a few days before baking the gorgeous festive cake.

Light Fruit Cake Light Fruit Cake
This cake is especially relevant for those who do not like to eat dense fruit cake but want some simple and fast Christmassy bakes . Apart from their lighter color, light fruitcakes tend to be less rich and not quite as sweet as their dark counterparts.Recipe adapted from Joyofbaking.#cake#mycookbook

Christmas Mulled Wine Velvet Cake Christmas Mulled Wine Velvet Cake
My family all like Christmas pudding, but it's just not for me. This year I decided to try making a Christmas-style cake for me to have at Christmas, and hopefully win some of the others away from the evil Christmas pudding too ;).I took a red wine velvet cake recipe that I had and altered it by replacing the red wine with mulled wine, and added some Christmas spices to the icing. I am very pleased with the result of my test bake - it's lovely and moist, rich and and the spices come through nicely. Waiting till Christmas now to see if I can win the family over.
