  • 150 g glace cherries
  • 1 ¼ cup apple juice
  • 150 g dried apricots
  • 180 g dates / khajoor
  • 300 g raisins
  • 1 cup apple juice

For Cake

  • 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour / maida
  • tbsp butter, unsalted
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • ½ cup oil
  • 3 egg
  • ¾ cup walnuts
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Assemble all ingredients together to avoid last minute rush.

Method

    For Soaking Dried fruit:

    • Add all dried fruit and juice in a large Bowl. Microwave 2 minutes on high or until hot.
    • Mix well to coat all fruit in liquid. Cover then set aside for 1 hour (to plump up/soak and cool).

    For Cake:

    • Preheat Oven to 160°C / 320°F and line a 8 – 9" round Cake Baking Bowl with baking paper.
    • Using a Hand Mixer, beat butter and sugar in a Mixing Bowl until smooth and creamy for about 1 minute or so.
    • Add oil and maple syrup in the Mixing Bowl and beat until combined.
    • Add salt, baking powder and all spices and beat until mixed well. Now add eggs one by one and beat until mix well.
    • Add all purpose flour and beat to mix well. Now, stir in the fruit mix including the liquid and walnuts.
    • Pour into Cake Baking Bowl and bake for 3 hours 15 minutes in an Oven. Check by inserting Skewer into middle, should come out clean with no batter on it.
    • Remove from Oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before transferring to rack or Tray for decorating.
    • Serve plain or decorate with your unique ideas.

    Notes & Tips

    • Choosing dried fruits: Feel free to choose dried fruits of your choice.
    • Add ons: You could also add mixed peel (is a store bought mix of diced, dried, crystallized orange and lemon peel).
    • Apple Juice: If you are making it without alcohol then I find Apple Juice the best alternate. You can also use pineapple or orange juice.
    • Dark brown sugar: You could use normal brown sugar or white sugar as well. I have used dark brown sugar to give Cake dark brown color.
    • Maple syrup: Alternatively use Molasses for this Recipe. They both add richness and flavor to the Cake.
    • Serving Suggestion: Cake can be eaten plain but for an extra special Christmas touch, serve it with custard (homemade or store bought).
    • Storage: Store in an Airtight Container in fridge. It remains good for almost a year.
    • Ingredients & Equipment: Find these Ingredients & Equipment at specialty food stores or online stores. For review of some stores, please refer to the Grocery Review Section on our Website.
