Rich Fruitcake - Christmas Fruitcake
#bakes I have been preparing for this baking from long time – soaked the dry fruits in rum two months back. This is the trick actually, the longer time you soak the dry fruits, the richer and tastier your cake will be. So, if your dry fruits are already soaked, you are good to go anytime. If not, you still have time till Christmas. For soaking the fruits, you can take either dark rum or brandy. I prefer rum and my brand is always Old Monk – it has a rich and sweet flavour and when the fruits absorb that, they taste great. So, here’s how I prepared my Rich Fruitcake.
Have it immediately or store it in an air-tight container. Take it out in every 2-3 days and spread 3-4 table-spoon rum on top of it. The alcohol will help preserving the cake and you can store it for long.
