I don't know why fruit cake has such a bad reputation. The one made here looks outstanding. I would love to enjoy a slice of that and a cup of coffee on Christmas morning.

I agree. I always bake a traditional fruit cake for Christmas as I am not a fan of a solid heavy cake and loads of icing and marzipan.

[@eimkei1339]

An old man and I cook quite ok but have baked very little and rarely - I have however taken a liking to this cake recipe and the excellent presentation. I will certainly give this a try. One question, is this a cake one could add a little brandy to over a few days? Many thanks.

[@myfancybaking]

Yes you can use brandy or Orange juice as you like . Thanks for the nice comment 💗

[@katperson7332]

When I saw you putting the jam on top I thought that meant you were going to put marzipan on top and possibly royal icing later. Would that be possible as I think it would make a nice and not too heavy Christmas cake.

[@myfancybaking]

Thank you so much for your comment . My next fruit cake is with marzipan will be uploaded tomorrow .👍

[@user-wi4mp1mg6d]

Haven’t tried this recipe yet, but looking forward to. Would love to know what the music is to the video

I'm just surprised no one has come along and wanted measurements in imperial or cups. Though maybe they have past the comments I got up to.

[@myfancybaking]

Sorry but now you can get the recipe in cups plz check the pin comment. Thanks👍

Would this recipe work just as well with currants, raisins and sultanas and not the other ingredients as I don’t like them… thanks… 😊

May do but it wouldn't be this recipe.

Are you including the raisins and sultanas into the 300g candied peel? Very unclear.

Yes included raisins 300g 👍

[@kowsaliav.mathews1691]

Can I use self raising flour

[@myfancybaking]

Yes you can use self raising flour but skip the baking powder.

[@kowsaliav.mathews1691]

Tq

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

In aus the brown sugar isn't grainy, we get dried fruit in a pack aready mixed, and self raising flour, so this looks pretty complicated to me. This is a light fruit cake, we get dark ones and boiled fruit cake, which is even quicker. All the best.

[@tessalister1226]

Bit rude, no one said it was quicker than anyone else's.and obviously can't get the ingredients you can.

[@lindagregory6877]

Hi Kathleen, ignore the negative comment from tessa,i you weren't being rude at all i made a boiled fruit cake recently for Christmas the family loves it.

[@maxineb9598]

That doesn't look like the brown sugar I buy either. More like a demerera sugar going from how the grains look.

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Yep, we are lucky! 🇦🇺

[@donwestlake4109]

It’s not at all complicated

[@mariapinto9886]

Looks good but i think the eggs r less compared to the amt of fruits n flour..i put spices n equal amts of ingredients

[@myfancybaking]

You can use 3 eggs but then cake becomes spongy😊

[@antonelladeco2179]

Per me visto il video il lievito mi sembra di più di due cucchiaini ❤

[@myfancybaking]

I have used baking powder not yeast dear👍

[@papalen9650]

How much of the dried fruits do you add?

[@myfancybaking]

300g dried and candied fruit👍

[@pauldhartley]

Help. I have never been able to make a successful cake. I tried this recipe, the top was burnt(not completely black) and the cake was so crumbly if fell apart when I tried to cut a slice. What did I do wrong? (It tastes good!)

[@myfancybaking]

First, after 20 min cover the cake with aluminum foil and second , do not cut the warm cake keep the cake in refrigerator for 6 hour for nice slice. Thanks for the comment 💖💖

[@pauldhartley]

@@myfancybaking Thank you, I will try again.

[@kowsaliav.mathews1691]

Y my fruit cake dry followed the same recipe

[@myfancybaking]

I don’t know dear . But you must wrap the cake and refrigerate for overnight . May be your measurement is not correct 😊

[@harrystevens3885]

You can make this cake with just flour dried fruit and some cold tea.

[@soloangel625]

Cake looks good. Try make it and have a hot cup tea. Enjoy your day ❤

No one said you couldn't. This is not that recipe.

Spices?

[@Cornz38]

Nice but far too crumbly. Cant cut a slice without it all disintegrating into crumbs.

[@myfancybaking]

Dear you can refrigerate your cake overnight for a wonderful slice👍

[@Cornz38]

Thank you. Yes, idiscovered if i put it in the fridge it helped stay together. Lovely cake anyway.@@myfancybaking
