Wow, brings back such nostalgic memories with a sadness as I remember all those glorious christmases especially the ones we spent in East Africa when my brother and myself were kids.We would gather around the dining table where mum, our domestic boy John and we two would keep stirring the sweet smelling, tempting mixture as it would be hand beaten( our domestic boy John was really a strong guy and would whip the batter so effortlessly) we too would lend a hand but the best part was when the mixture was all done and transferred to the baking tins that my brother and me would fight and compete to lick and clean up completely the remaining mixture from the bowl. Gosh, heavenly. We were very young but our spirits would just soar as we cleaned out the bowl with laughter, giggles and happy voices and faces… now I’m thinking… “perhaps that was because unknowingly to us kids, the special ingredient in the Christmas cake… the delightful rum was raising our Christmas Spirits?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Aw what good happy memories you have Christopher, yes this time of the year also makes me nostalgic 🥹 ❤️

This is a wonderful recipe Pearl. May your mums soul RIP. Have you tried our EastIndian fruit cake (mainly used as a tea cake) made with fine semolina . I will share the recipe with you if you would like to try.. Blessings

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Thank you Nikola that would be great 🙏🏽I’ll definitely try it 😁❤️🙏🏽

[@CathyHu-s6m]

I know Miss Pearl can you make me a Christmas cake without alcohol? Please thank you.

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Cathy you don’t have to add alcohol, you could substitute that with orange juice 👌🏻👍🏻❤️

[@CathyHu-s6m]

Thank you very much, I will make it on Wednesday because I’m off, I will let you know how it came out. Thank you once again.

Hi Pearl, if I use self raising flour, can i omit baking powder?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Yes, you can 👌🏻❤️

[@chestoo2641]

Which country are you sharing from I am Anglo Indian living in Australia

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi I’m originally from India Jhansi but now live in the UK ❤️🙏🏽

[@annie_coco_poco]

So amazing recipes mam What you mix with orange juice actually your voice is too slow

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Varsha, it’s two cups of orange juice and 600 mls of Rum 😮😅, don’t worry you won’t get drunk as the alcohol gets burnt off when baking , also try looking at the same video on someone else’s phone in your family , because on my phone and lots of people’s phone it is quite loud , but I did have many comments that they couldn’t hear me so since then I’ve change the microphone 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

[@lourdesmurzello9309]

True can't hear you Pearl. Your recipes are delicious

[@sheilaacharya1068]

Hello Pearl, may I ask if I reduce the fruit in half, could I keep the other ingredients the same quantity? I just want less fruit in my cake.

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hello Sheila, yes you can leave the rest of the ingredients the same as my Aunty doesn’t like too much fruit either so I do the same with her cake 👌🏻❤️

[@sheilaacharya1068]

@@pearlskitchen9999 so kind of you to reply so promptly. Many thanks

[@krisildakrishans]

Can we soak the dry fruits a month before ?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Yes it will make it nice and moist 👌🏻

[@krisildakrishans]

@@pearlskitchen9999 Will do then..

[@annie_coco_poco]

Is this 1kg flour recipe righ?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Yes Varsha that’s right it’s 1Kg of Madia, 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽👍🏻

[@jayanthidevi3417]

Would the cake be very sweet with the amount of 1.5 cup sugar, 600gm brown sugar and 2000 gm of mixed fruit and mixed peel?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Jayanthi, the cake was delicious not too sweet at all, but if you want you could reduce the quantity of sugar, but being a Christmas fruit cake it’s tend to be on the rich side 🙏🏽❤️

[@bellamaria2654]

Hi is the butter salted or unsalted?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Bella, I used Unsalted for this one but I also used Salted butter at times and they both just as delicious 🤗🙏🏽❤️👌🏻

[@bellamaria2654]

Thank you so much! My mom is Anglo Indian I am going to make it for her this Christmas 😃

[@sandradaniel5562]

Hi Pearl. If we don't use rum, then how much of orange juice do we need to add? Also how long will the cake last if we don't use rum. What is the quantity of burnt sugar?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Sandra you can use pineapple or cranberry juice instead of rum, and for the burnt sugar I used 1.5 cups, and the fruit cake without rum should last for a month 🙏🏽❤️

[@sandradaniel5562]

Thank you so much for replying so quickly.❤ I make another recipe and it sinks in the middle. What could be the reason?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

@@sandradaniel5562 hi Sandra it could be that there is too much liquid in your cake or you are opening the oven door too soon .

[@sandradaniel5562]

Oh. Ok. Will keep your tips in mind. But will surely try your recipe. Thank you so much for your help. I too am an Anglo Indian.🙂 God bless.

[@lorainereddy8169]

Don’t you add baking soda in it?

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Loraine , no I don’t as there was lots of eggs in there, so don’t need the soda 👌🏻❤️

[@jeanfernandes5673]

Please please increase volume

[@pearlskitchen9999]

He sorry about the volume in the old videos we had some issues on some phones but since then we have got a new microphone, here is a link of one of my latest ones 🙏🏽 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6uZf516qriAndEsi=7v_W7XtpIJwDEpo6

[@heatherzumbclayson5878]

Looks delicious. I too have my dear Mum's recipe. I also add crystalized pumpkin (pather - not sure if this is the correct spelling) in mine does give a lovely crunchy taste. xx

[@josephthomas1617]

Cake came out perfect

[@debbieharper753]

Oh no not again, I’ve got no sound! Anybody else having this problem? The sound is on why the adverts come on but not for Pearl, help!

[@pearlskitchen9999]

Hi Debbie, sorry about this could you try seeing the same videos on another family members phone to see if it’s any different 🙏🏽❤️
