We are deeply grateful for sharing a shorter version of the traditional Christmas cake, it looks great and delicious, thank you.

[@irenebryan9788]

I've never been interested in making xmas cake until now 😮......you make it so easy to follow, thk you ❤

[@justme9818]

Another easy recipe is too add a jar of good quality minced pie filling to your standard Madeira / vanilla muffin mix - it turns out great!

[@m.gainey9603]

The addition of semolina flour is unique! The final result looked scrumptious! Saved.

[@safiaahmed3111]

Hello Mam, I love to bake the traditional British Christmas cake for the Christmas occasion. You have uploaded so many varieties of cakes. It seems that you are a professional expert chef in making cakes. Thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart ❤ for sharing all your good recipes and your precious time. 🎉❤ Sophia , Canada 🇨🇦

[@paulavandieden8609]

My mouth is watering! Fruit has been soaking ready to get onto making the cake! Today might just be the day with a couple of suggestions from you. Will be the best ever. Thank you 💖

The best Christmas cake ever I made it and was fantastic thank you for sharing it you clever lady

[@purisimakunze1777]

It's the easiest fruit cake I have seen .must try next time.looks very yummy.tnjs for sharing.

[@rosemariepongratz7426]

Like my mom and grandma made..they also included raisins and currants and added whiskey or brandy to cake...after baking they would wrap cake in buttered paper and wrap it away bringing it out each month and spritz them with more brandy and reward cake. It would be served either as cake or served in bowl with rum in white sauce...so delicious

[@silverpromidi]

How long would you leave this to 'mature' and how would you store this cake to do that? Thank you for this recipe and your recommendations.

[@emmahardesty4330]

Very good, like the addition of semolina. I'm sure I'll incorporate parts of your wonderful recipe into my old tried-true method, sans eggs. Thanks very much. Music was good too. Simple and calm.

Oh gosh! It's a big cake to me! There will only be 3 of us to eat cake this Christmas. The rest of the kids are doing brekky with us, then shooting off to the in-laws.

Ty for sharing.😊

[@HemaC-u4m]

Thank you for an easy and delicious Christmas Cake. We have both fine and coarse Semolina in the UK. Which one are you using in the recipe please?

[@battles146]

I would say use the fine as you want it to blend well with the flour and other ingredients

[@Knittyneeds]

Greetings from France ❤️. CONGRATULATIONS 😮 wowwwww. Looks soooo delicious. That reminded me of my Mom and Sister in Canada who made Christmas Cake with royal icing on top. Placed small pieces of cake in parchment paper with ends tied with tiny bows like bonbons. Both have been taken away from me and are in heaven. I never had their talent in cake making🤣. Thanks for sharing 😍 hugs 😊

I definitely want to make this gorgeous cake - a question. Where do you store the fruit and brandy mix please - is it in the fridge or in the pantry?

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Room temp is fine.

[@toty7607]

Gracias tu canal es extraordinario ❤

[@evocationart8370]

Looks absolutely sensational 😊x

[@DaniHMcV]

I grew up eating dark and light fruit cake. I like neither. I still make it though because of rhe sentimental aspect. But every bite is a sacrifice of my senses, lol. I will never stop eating it though, mostly because it defines my childhood experiences around Christmas but also because long after other treats around the holidays are eaten or mouldy, the fruitcake is indestructible and inevitably abandoned by everyone else around me. 😂😂

[@martinwagner9610]

Beautiful!

The alcohol enhances the flavour and preserves the cake. All good Christmas cakes include a level of alcohol, especially brandy 🙂

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Yes 🙌

[@leonardmartingeraghty5079]

Of course !!!

[@نوالالرشيدي-ب9ث]

جميل جدا ورائع شكرا لك

[@dawnellreeves1774]

What is semolina. Thank you for posting this video. I’d like to try it.

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

If it is not available to you. Swap for equal amount of more plain flour or Almond flour.

[@susiladevirajasundram4376]

Sugee flour

[@rainbow-nt2mf]

hello can I put other than semolina? please ? Hello from Belgium and thank you for your Christmas recipe cake ;

[@elizabethdeleo3123]

I wonder if Americans know what golden syrup is. I have never seen it sold in the States. I use honey instead.

[@JanePilkington]

We have corn syrup. Honey would be good too.

[@bmcneil9952]

I’ve seen golden syrup in stores that import. You could also use maple syrup

[@KarenRobson-t6h]

Isn’t it just corn syrup?

[@JanePilkington]

@KarenRobson-t6h It's sugar syrup.

[@RespectTruth456]

I thought golden syrup is from America! That’s my misunderstanding!

[@zaafirarafa6633]

Can we replace semolina with flour?

[@justme9818]

Hi, this looks gorgeous. I've never baked with semolina before - how is the flavour different to baking with flour?

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

The texture is softer and less dense.

[@justme9818]

@EasyQuickRecipes Thanks so much for your reply!

[@ChrisMum]

This looks super! What size tray was used and can it be baked in a loaf tin? If so, what size loaf tin? Thanks for posting this😊

[@DutchJoan]

The tray was 20x20 cm (8x8 inch).

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

This was a 8x8 inch tin. For a loaf tin use a 3 Lb one.

Just be careful with the addition of pineapple, the cake will go mouldy if stored for a long time. Eg, if used as a wedding cake or fed for long periods of time. 🐶🇬🇧

[@davidhewlett2197]

Are the temps for normal or fan assisted oven, please?

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Normal

[@carmgirl-dm3ms]

Thank you

[@CarmenArjoon-lo6fx]

Very fruity cake. Can I substitute flour for the semolina? Is cream of wheat the same thing?

[@marlis.A.54]

I would also like this question to be answered, and why there is generally semolina in the dough instead of flour. Yet one doesn't seem to get any answer from the author. 😬

[@Fitz128]

Yes you can. Google flour substitutes for semolina and there a number of different flours you can use.

[@MarLindaPerez-s1i]

Never liked Fruit Cake until I tried Collin Street Bakery's in Texas. This looks like it would be good. I'll give it a try to see if I can make my own so I don't have to buy it. Thanks for sharing.🥰

😇 you will Love it!!

In Canada Golden syrup is sold in ethnic section of the supermarket, it comes in a green tin. Delicious

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Hey thank you. You can always swap for maple syrup 😇♥️ too.

[@missmayflower]

@@EasyQuickRecipesflavour of maple syrup is too strong for this purpose.

Yummy 😋

Hi it's very nice I wan to do can I kno the fruit can I use half

[@eleuterosaletheia2595]

Is it the same as a Christmas pudding? Can one flambee it with cognac?

[@sabirmunifa8013]

Very nice recipe 👍👍👍

[@JenniferNefdt-tm5cv]

I eat my fruit cake with thin slices of gouda cheese. Tastes so creamy

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Interesting!

[@divinalucero3971]

What is golden syrup? How to make it?

[@lorraineWilson-j5d]

It's a syrup made purely from sugar and would be too hard to make as its very thick and concentrated. We used to call it treacle(not black treacle). Most shops sell it.

[@mohenjodaro2024]

Take 250 gms of sugar and 150 gms of water.Put sugar in a pan on medium heat and keep stirring meanwhile boil the water when you see the sugar turning to a golden colour or yellowish orange colour pour the hot water into it and keep stirring until all the sugar is dissolved let it cool this is your golden syrup multiply the quantity how much you want to make

[@emilygarcia7657]

During the pandemic I bake Xmas cake that I copied on KZbin and it was yummy

[@rogerdavis6590]

Please will you say the quantities of each of the mixed fruit that you used - Dried Fruits and Nuts 600g (4 cups) I used: Dates, Dried Apricots, Sultanas, Raisins, Dried Cranberries, Candied peel pieces, Red glazed cherries, Cashew nuts, dried papaya pineapple bits,

[@kanakpatel7125]

👍👍👍

[@anitadeclerck6000]

I cannot make up my mind! Which recipe do I use? ❤

[@hannahanna1132]

Without baking powder ?

[@natashacollier5248]

The egg whites give it lift.

[@desifoodforfamily5411]

Yummy so yummy recipe 👍👍🤤😋

[@SuzanneKnowles-i1m]

Would you consider a marzipan topping , covered with royal icing. This is a lovely cake recipe but entirely different from a traditional British Christmas cake. It is much lighter so everyone should like it.

[@arminei6417]

I think she should have used a bigger bowl for the fruit mix!

[@gladysclausing8785]

Can the semolina be substituted with flour? Why not mix the egg whites with the batter first and then incorporate the fruit. Much easier.

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

You can use flour instead of semolina.

[@enjoymusic1217]

You have not used any baking powder forvthis recipe?

[@natashacollier5248]

The egg whites give it lift

[@enjoymusic1217]

@natashacollier5248 thank you very much. 🌹

[@robinlapan7370]

Do you have to use the rum or bourbon?

[@BryanJohnson-oe8ks]

I noted No raising agent was used?

[@lorraineWilson-j5d]

The whisked egg whites help to give ot a rise

[@sulanijayamanne1891]

❤

[@Logans3Run]

Leave out the Rose essence and add two more 50ml glasses of Jamesons Whiskey to the mix to give the cake, a good in the cheeks. You wont regret it. Early seasons greetings to all 😉

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Sounds great! 😌 😎

[@orreymodo5860]

Is it 2 tablespoons of all spices combined? It cant be 2 tablespoons of each can it? If 2 in total what id the break down of the three

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

2 tbsp of all

[@Janet-y2c]

Your cake looks delicious but why did you add jam on top

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Used to be a tradition to keep it moist and look moist too! It’s optional.

Would appreciate quantities

[@pamelanurrahman3559]

Can I bake 😢it in the microwave oven I don't have any oven or stove 😔

[@marlis.A.54]

No oven no baking, as simple as that!

[@lorraineWilson-j5d]

No i wouldnt. The microwave would burn the fruit as it gets hotter in places.

[@anastasiahalpern9863]

Golden syrup is corn syrup.

[@EasyQuickRecipes]

Thanks its similar

[@whitefox2336]

No, golden syrup is a sugar syrup, nothing to do with corn. They are similar but I prefer the taste of golden syrup.

[@lorraineWilson-j5d]

Golden syrup is purely made from sugar cane.

[@Codger2015]

Was this 4 cups each of the Dates, Dried Apricots, Sultanas, Raisins, Dried Cranberries, Candied peel pieces, Red glazed cherries, Cashew nuts, dried papaya pineapple bits? Or 4 cups total? If 4 cups total, it would be nice to know how much of each is needed to reach 4 cups.

[@katinsu7700]

600g in total

[@lorraineWilson-j5d]

I would use 300g mixed fruit,then divide equally the other 300g between dates,cranberries,nuts,apricots,pineapple.

“Best fruit cake” is an oxymoron.

[@Knittyneeds]

Hi. For Christmas Cake you don't use a mixer. The ingredients being fruits, will be reduced to PULP.

[@elizabethdeleo3123]

@@Knittyneeds yes. Christmas cakes are always stirred by hand. Each person in the family, takes a turn at stirring and at the same time, makes a silent wish.

[@oneitalia2312]

@@Knittyneeds My mixer has a low setting just for combining...... you can use the 'on/off' method or pulse it just to combine everything not to over-mix it or surely not to pulverize the dough to make pulp.
