How to make Rich Fruit Cake | Rich Fruit Cake Recipe | Rich Fruit Cake using Margarine

The beauty of this recipe, is the low quantity of alcohol used. Some fruit cakes recipe stings the back of the throat, due to the heavy presence of alcohol.
Immediately the cake comes out of the oven, please, wrap with cling film, to help trap in the heat for additional softness.
Most fruit cakes are dry, but wrapping this and trapping the heat, ensures that does not happen.
Do you remember the saying that, the older the berry, the sweeter the wine?
Same applies to fruit cakes. Bake your fruit cakes, days before consumption. Let your fruit cakes, sit and mature.
Poke a few holes in the cake with a skewer, drizzle with brandy for more intense flavor, if you don't mind the taste of alcohol.
I will love to do business with you;

[@julietamieghe4270]

Hello ma'am, thanks for sharing this recipe and I love the simple process to it too. I baked this recipe and my 6 eggs amounted to 349g approx 350g after I measured it with a scale. The cake tasted good but the sugar taste was very low. I feel the eggs i used was too much. Please what's the weight of an egg in this recipe without the shell? I want to bake it again. Thanks.

[@NaijaBakersTV]

My recipes are always low sugar content. The eggs isn't why the cake was low in sugar content. You can modify it to suit your taste. Simply watch the video again, cos I remember talking about how a certain number gave me that measurement, from that can you can deduce the weight of each egg without the shell. Increase, the measurement of the sugar if that's what you like. Happy baking

[@jnconfectionery]

Thank you for sharing Ma'am. Can this recipe be baked and covered with fondant please?

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Yes

[@idongesitlove2097]

Hello Ma, thanks for sharing your recipe, please my question is do you bake the cake covered?if so why please, thanks

[@NaijaBakersTV]

No! You bake your cakes open. Cover dense cakes when it is still hot and fresh out of the oven for a moist texture.

[@lasisioluwatosin1173]

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Watch the video on EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW on the channel. You will know what to do if you don't want alcohol.

[@theodoraagginie6727]

Hello ma thank you for sharing My question is for people who don't like chewing the fruits if i want to blend should i measure out the fruits before blending or blend and measure out what is needed for the recipe. Thank you 🙏 Looking forward for your reply 😊 @NaijaBakersTV

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Measure before blending

[@abiodunoluwabusola9352]

Thanks for sharing ma, please ma, the raisins used for toppings are dried not soaked right?

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Yes, dried and not soaked. That’s the way it will stay crunchy. Note: For cakes that will be consumed within days. Watch video again.

[@lovelynbestconfectionery4497]

Thank you ma'am for the recipe. Can I use it for a wedding cake and how long can it last?

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Yes, it can be used for a wedding cake. It can last for months on end. Simply, wrap in cling film and freeze before covering the cake. Don’t forget to let it defrost completely in the cling film before covering it. That will help extend its shelf life. Fruit cakes when baked right can last for years in the freezer. Watch the other video on everything you need to know about fruit cakes. Scroll through the channel for that video. 💕

[@francessmemunatusesayofses5250]

Hello ma what the name of that dark liquid that was added to the cake to intense the colour

Nice one, thankyou for sharing freely Ma, God bless you!! My question is about aging the fruit cake, after wrapping in cling film, should it be freezed for ageing?? If I want to sell during Christmas period, should I have made the cake by now??

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Yes, make it now and freeze it

Can I use mixed spice in place of all spice Ma? Can we get ingredients for all spice mix please?

[@NaijaBakersTV]

It is the same thing. Just ensure it doesn’t have curry and thyme. It should be a spice with cinnamon etc Check the labeling

[@sugarsugar3574]

Can I add preservative if the cake will stay longer than 3-4 days? If not, what other ways can it be preserved to last longer?🙏

[@NaijaBakersTV]

Fruit cake already has preservative and that’s the BRANDY. Watch the other video on EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FRUIT CAKES

After soaking

Thank you so much for sharing this ma. Please why did you grease and at the same time line your pans with baking paper? What's the essence of lining the side of your pans as well? Thank you and God bless.
