#Christmasplumcake #plumcakerecipe #howtomakeplumcake
What you will need:
Soaked dry fruits: 1 cup
Eggs:3
Maida: 1 cup
sugar: 3/4th cup
Butter: 3 tbsp
Baking powder: 1 tbsp
Baking soda: 1 pinch
Orange peel: 2 tbsp
Nutmeg: 1 pinch
Ginger powder: 1 tbsp
Cinnamon powder: 1 tsp
Mixed dry fruits: 1 cup
How to prepare:
• Take a pan or kadhai and on medium heat, melt two tbsp of sugar slowly.
• It will first melt and then turn into dark brown. Keep stirring and let it turn into deep dark caramel colour but don’t burn it.
• Add ¼ cup of water slowly in batches and keep stirring. Don’t add all the water at one time as the sugar will harden.
• Once all the sugar dissolves, turn off the heat. This will take around 10 mins.
• I had soaked some dry fruits in Rum 15 days back and its ready now. Take 1 cup of soaked fruits and nuts that you prefer.
• I have taken some almonds, walnuts and cashew for the cake.
• Take 3 tbsp of unsalted butter and whip it till soft and fluffy. Now add 3 eggs one at a time and whisk till it becomes soft and creamy.
• Once this is done add ¾ cups of powdered sugar slowly to mix well. I have mixed the sugar well and now I will add 1 cup of maida or all purpose flour.
• Add 1/3rd cup of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, a pinch of baking soda. Mix all the ingredients and sieve so that there are no lumps in it.
• Now to this batter add 1 tsp if cinnamon powder, 1 tsp of ginger powder and a pinch of nutmeg. Nutmeg adds a wonderful flavour to the cake so don’t skip this.
• Gently fold in the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined and there are no large flour pockets in the batter. Do not over mix at this stage.
• Keep a small portion of the soaked dry fruits aside and fold in the rest along with the caramel, chopped walnuts, almonds and cashews in the batter.
• I am adding some orange zest to the batter. Please remember not to use the white part of the orange as it will add a bitter taste to the cake. Mix lightly. Decorate it with some cashew on top
• Now I will grease a pan and add butter paper at the bottom. Here I will sprinkle some flour so that the cake comes out clean.
• Now transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and gently tap to remove any air bubbles. I am not using my oven today.
• Here I have my unused pressure cooker which I have pre-heated on the gas. Insert the pan and bake it for 45 mins by maintaining the temperature.
• First keep the flame on high for 10 mins and then reduce it to medium for 20 mins and then bake it at low flame for 15 mins.
• Please follow this to bake the cake perfectly, else you may burn the cake.
• After 45 mins insert a skewer and check it if comes out clean. Once it is done let it cool and top the cake with the leftover soaked fruits.
• Your Christmas plum cake is ready to serve.

Ma'am, my comment is not to just criticize, but to make the receipe even better... 1.) Use sufficient Caramalized sugar Syrup instead of cocoa powder to get that authentic Plum Cake colour and Taste. Coco Powder will make it taste more like a chocolate cake. Also use Vanilla essence, when you are using eggs. 2. The final mix should have more running consistency. 3. Cut and fold method is not required while making this plum cake. 4. The dry fruits should be coated with flour, otherwsie they will settle at the bottom.
