This cake can be made a couple of months before Christmas and stored in a cool, dry place. Eat as it is (as a fruit cake) or just before Christmas, marzipan the cake (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/11174930-how-to-marzipan-a-cake) and cover with Royal Icing (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/11174895-royal-icing).#nikicuisine #mycookbook

this is first time I've made a Christmas cake and I'm chuffed at how it turned :) :)

Sometimes I'm craving something other than chocolate cake, and this definitely does the trick.My friends can't get enough of it either.

I love this, it's the only fruit cake recipe I ever use! :chef

...not a nasty gross fruit cake with terrible dried candied stuff that never should have been created in the first place. Okay now that I've gotten that out of my system, here is what we like in a fruit cake. Our inspiration is the same ingredients the that we would love in trail mix incorporated into a rich dense cake. Make a glorious dense cake and fill with great stuff then moisten with booze you can't live without! Easy right. Fruitcake should not be so hard...

There's no Christmas in Jamaica without this tasty rum fruit cake.

amazing! best cake in the world! can have it at any meal.

I created this recipe because I wanted to make a delicious pound cake that can be a little gift to take to somebody's house.There are recipes that use vegetable oil, but the butter definitely makes the cake more delicious.Please mix the mixture well after adding the eggs so that it won't separate.The batter seems a bit thick, but once it's baked, it will flatten so it's ok.It's also tasty to add bananas, walnuts, or make a marble pound cake with cocoa powder or matcha powder.I think it's ok to use rum instead of brandy.

Not a lot of people know this but Simnel Cake is actually a Mothers Day recipe! They're most associated with our traditional Easter celebrations, Simnel cakes are a spicy fruit cake with a marzipan layer baked into the middle. The 11 marzipan balls that decorate the top represent the true disciples of Jesus. This cake is eaten after Lent and going back to Mothers Day, was usually shared at that time between a Mother and her daughters

There are various versions of this cake. This is mine. I always add extra cherries, personally I prefer the cherries.

This is another good Scottish cake recipe and ofcourse like most there's whiskey in it :) :)

This is the Indonesian version of Fruit & Nut cake (no nuts in my photo though). It's using a mix of sugar and dark and sticky palm sugar. You need to shave or shred the palm sugar to make it easier to beat.
