CHRISTMAS 2013 - FRUIT CAKE
Fruit Cake
Recipe from Easy Stir 'n Bake Cakes Book by Kevin Chai
250g plain flour
2tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarbonate soda
1tsp mixed spices
5 eggs
200g brown sugar
200ml corn oil
1tsp black treacle (I used cappuccino paste)
400g mixed fruits
60ml brandy
- Grease and line a 23cm (9inches) round cake tin. Preheat oven to 160°C.
- Combine plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate soda and mixed spices in a mixing bowl.
- Combine eggs, brown sugar, oil and black treacle ( I used cappuccino paste).
- Stir into flour mixture with mixed fruits until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into prepared tin. Bake in the oven for 50-60minutes or until cooked.
- Stand for 10 minutes and turning on to wire rack to cool.
To store it: Wrap the fruit cake and sealed completely with aluminium foil before keeping it in the fridge.
This recipe is definitely great for those who don't have hand mixer or stand mixer. Pretty simple isn't it? Just stir and bake. I have another great recipe from just stir and bake which is the Zucchini Cake.
Here I'm submitting my simple fruit cake to Cook-Your-Books #7 hosted by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours and also to "Baby
Sumo's Christmas Recipes Collection 2013" event which is hosted by Baby Sumo
of Eat Your Heart Out.

HeLLo Angeline,
ReplyDeleteI have eaten a fruit cake several times before. For this Christmas, my wife baked 4 different cakes but unfortunately, I didn't know their names. I just ate. Hahahah!
Yummy cake!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and family!
Looks like a great cake to give as present and serve during CNY too…but I am not going to bake any this year too many being served every year!
ReplyDeleteCan get what you meant here. It was my first time trying to bake a fruit cake. But of course not every year.
DeleteHi Angeline,
ReplyDeleteLovely cake! I have this book which I bought years ago and so far only have tried one recipe from it.
This cake looks very moist and fruity!
Thanks for linking with CYB!
Happy New Year!
