Easy Fruit Cake Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking.com/cakes/Eas...
The British Fruit Cake is traditionally served during the Christmas season. It is full of dried fruits and nuts, laced with alcohol over several weeks, and often covered with marzipan and royal icing. The problem is that it's both expensive to make and it needs time to age. Luckily, there is a much simpler version of this cake for the last minute baker, and I call it an Easy Fruit Cake. You may know it as a Boiled Fruit Cake, a War Cake, and/or a Bachelor's Cake. I love a lot of things about this cake. I love that it still uses all the necessary fruit cake ingredients, like dried and candied fruits and ground spices. I love that the batter is so easy to make and you don't need to pull out your stand mixer. And most importantly, I love its flavor and that it can be eaten almost right away. This is one cake that is so good that it begs to be made all year, not just during the Christmas season.

[@michaelhooyman4453]

I remember my mother made this in the sixties, at every year before Christmas time, she added rum to it, and no one liked it, but her. . . I asked her to make it with out rum, and every one loved it. She added candy cherries also. Thanks for sharing this, and Merry Christmas to you. Christmas isn't the same with out fruit cake.

[@veradecunha4463]

Thank you Stephene. I love this easy fruit cake. I must try making this cake this Christmas.

[@debrariley2057]

I bake this type of boiled cake through out the year, with variations. Some times adding cherries, walnuts {put them in at the last mix} mango, apples, i make my own orange candid peel as the taste difference is wonderful. Like you I found it difficult to get through out the year, so just started making it. I am ashamed to say ... I do stockpile cherries. Your videos are a joy to watch. Clear and conscience, spreading the joys of baking.. thank you.

[@olgaanchan5089]

Thank you..made it today and simply love it. You are right it is an all-year cake.

[@dawsernaman6659]

I like all your recipes. Thanks for sharing. My mom have been making similar to this. She adds dried peach, raisins, walnuts and shredded carrots. Without spices.

[@brendaspamperedkitchen9878]

Stephanie, this is what my mother has been making for over 65 years, minus the orange peel and replaced with walnuts from our walnut tree. A childhood favorite. I too will be baking this and my Applesauce cake.

[@cookingwithgaspar4135]

I love your recipes so wonderful And very easy to follow the directions ❤️🙏

[@elenarogers5311]

Thankyou, this fruit cake was really delicious. Tried this recipe without candied peel but substituted walnuts and put into 2 smaller plum tins to make it last longer for family. Used sultanas, dried cranberries for the fruit.Took 30 mins ...very good. I also boiled the sultanas separately for 4 mins in brandy first. Thanks again from Italy.

[@juelettefadness7344]

Very similar to the fruit cake my Mom made but she boiled hers in grape juice instead of water. She also used dark brown sugar. I never got the full recipe before she passed away so I've been trying to recreate the one she made. Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try this.

[@yemiserach8283]

Made this cake yesterday. I was afraid it would be too sweet with the two cups of fruit along with the brown sugar, but it was just right. Thank you for all the great recipes!

[@smileygirl6457]

Yummy Looks so delicious Stephanie. 🥰🤤
