@@pm5095 Hi, feed it fortnightly in November, then once a week up until you decorate. You don't need to wait for drying time to decorate, using my method. But do turn the cake over on the flat clean side and use it as the top of your cake. Hope that helps xx

I just found my Grandmas recipe in my late fathers cook book, does not show how to cook just ingrediants i am so going to make this i loved it has a child Dad made me one every year, ingrediants look differant to all the videos i am watching like it says use self raising flour and castor sugar? i would have thought brown sugar, it also has ground almonds on the list? i am asuming that is for the marzipan. Also says caramel to darken but i remember there was always a tin of black treacle in the cuboard

The ground almonds will be for the cake too. I made mine yesterday and it was my granny’s recipe. Use the recipe you dad has but use this video to prompt which stages. The flour plain and almond and spice are mixed and set aside then slowly added to the butter and sugar alternating the egg and milk and flour bit at a time. Then add fruit at end. Hope this helps

You can soak the mixed fruit in orange juice ,no sugar,no alcohol and honey plan zero calories ,good for keeping blood sugar in control a piece of sugarless no alcohol will good result reading for diabetes ,this cake the cook made for seniour citizen nursing home for all and for diabetes as well ,a piece each on Christmas kept good result in low blood sugar when residents were checked for sugar diabetes good result we tried it after Christmas cake with sugar and alcohol and without sugar,without alcohol use orange juice and orange peel and mixed fruit yes

@charitykasonkomonamutambwa9639 Hi, well, October is a great time to bake your cake. Once baked leave it for a couple of days to settle.

Hi MysteryBaker, i make this cake every year and only now i understand why we don't add baking powder. Thanks so much for that explanation. I love knowing the chemistry of things. I wanted to ask you... My cake gets done in 2 hours (toothpick in the middle comes out clean). Should i still leave it in for 4 hours? Will it help to caramelise the sugars?
@MysteryBaker Ай бұрын
@astridtravasso9361 Hi, thanks for returning 😘 If your cake is ready at 2 hours, just make sure the cake top is looking a deep golden brown. If you think a further 30 minutes will help, then do so. Happy Baking xxx

@@MysteryBaker Yes i do... I usually bake end Oct, feed every 2 weeks, then marzipan layer goes on a week before xmas, and fondant on the 24th. The cake is quite dense bcos of the fruit, but i dont knw why it crumbles. It's not dry, and i learned from experience not to let it get wet. Shud i increase the eggs maybe?
@MysteryBaker Ай бұрын
@astridtravasso9361 Well you're following everything perfectly. So it really is the "Raisins" (strange but true). The raisins are extremely large and when cutting its the larger fruits that are causing the slight crumbling. You can replace 30% of the sultanas or raisins with an extra 30% of currants and add an extra tablespoon of black treacle. It will help, but to be honest Astrid, slight crumbling is quite normal as long as the cake tastes yummy and moist then I'd not worry too much. Xx
