Plzz make lotus biscoff cakes ,cupcakes plzzzzzzzzzz

[@HillcrestVBS]

I made this cake a few days before Christmas and finished off the last piece today. Ingredients for making a second one are on counter in my kitchen at this very moment. The flavors of this cake take me back to my childhood when my favorite aunt always made fruitcake for the holidays. No one in the family carried on that tradition after her generation was gone. In the intervening years I occasionally resorted to buying fruitcake when the craving for it hit. I found this easy to make (except for the 48 hours of wait time before tasting it!). I will never eat store bought fruitcake again. Love your content and no nonsense presentation.

[@malathiweerasooriya6438]

I loved the way this was presented. User friendly. Very well planned and executed.There were no boring sections of painstaking chopping, measuring etc. One of the rare youtube cookery demonstrations I have watched without jumping the boring parts. Thank you and definitely will make this fruit cake. It looked absolutely delicious.

By far the best plum cake recipe I have come across... Guys please don't hesitate to try this. I am a homebaker and I was given an order for 10 plum cakes. I just followed the recipe since this is my first time trying plum cakes. The cakes simply came out to be the best. The customer is highly satisfied with the taste and look.

[@maryawotuboige4521]

We don't have molasses in Nigeria Can I use brownie

[@cynthiaoffor2077]

Molasses is black treacle. Ask in a cake shop. Also browning is ok but it will give it a blank taste 😊​@@maryawotuboige4521

Hi suchi.. did u used molasses or just brown sugar?

[@karminiparsan9256]

I am from the Caribbean and in the absence of alcohol that we use..I can suggest you use any non alcoholic wine and pour it over the cake as you remove it from the over. Later as it cools wrap it in plastic wrap..it doesn't matter if it is warm still..and leave it for a few days. Taste the difference.!

[@fazkb5127]

As a Muslim we can't use alcohol for any ways.

[@AG-fl3kl]

No-alcoholic wine, as in sparkling grape juice?

[@samirapatel6447]

[@catherinebony-brandt8530]

Very interesting! As a French woman with origins in a wine region, I could imagine to add a spoonful of rhum or orange liquor to the topping. But it’s definitely optional. The young pastry chef explains very clearly ❤️

[@Valerie-tt7uq]

I'm used to Caribbean rich moist fruit cakes. But watching your video and with your recipes and explaining the recipes. I thoroughly enjoy. I will try them myself. Thanks for sharing. ❤and blessings to you.

Hey MK looks delicious waiting to try it...have a query...can we replace the orange juice in the cake and for soaking after its baked with alcohol(rum)? Thanks

[@Ilovemd-p3f]

You can even put blackcurrant juice yumm 😋

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! :D Although I haven't tried it myself, you could probably substitute some of the orange juice with rum if you prefer, though the orange juice does provide great flavour so I wouldn't substitute all of it just some of it :)

Hi, I have decided to make this for Mothers Day. Started tonight and my baterries have gone in my scales. Have fruit mixture done now sat waiting until tommorow until i can get some more batteries. Will it be ok. Using less dates and added cranberrries and apricots. Using ginger jam underneat marzipan then ice cake. 25 yrs i had these scales since i was 20 now 51 so can't complain never changed batteries what a time to go though. Hope it turns out ok tommorow now

[@squeakykleen4832]

Thank you MK. I made this cake twice now within a couple of days and everyone that tried it said it’s the best fruit cake they have had. I only dropped the sugar to 100g and the sweetness is quite perfect. Since we don’t use alcohol in our cooking I truly appreciate your recipe not using any.

[@Obsidian07]

I tried this recipe! 😄Turned out super yummy. Everyone liked it 😋 I baked the cake at 140 C for 74 min in 8 inch pan and there was quite a bit of crack on top. What can I do to avoid the cracks?

[@JustBrowsing2022]

You can try putting a baking pan with water on the bottom shelf in the oven. Also I recommend putting parchment paper or tinfoil over top the cake after the first 30 minutes of baking. I’ve also seen people put parchment on top at the start of baking with a small hole cut in the middle but I think just putting it on part way thru is easier. If you like your fruitcake soaked with alcohol, wrap it tightly in cling wrap after pouring the alcohol over and this will help hide the cracks if they are not too big. Hope this helps!

I just made this cake, n it turned out soo delicious, I decrease the quantity of orange juice to half as I felt the batter would be too runny,

[@OlenaBespalova-c8t]

Can we add rum to your cake?. If yes at which stage and how much ml?. Thanks ❤ love your recipes

[@moneelim3616]

Hi! I have been trying your cake recipes and they are my fave now. For this fruit cake recipe, how many 7 inch tin molders will i use and what would be the temperature? How long will it take to bake? Thanks so much, MK!

[@CakesbyMK]

So happy to hear you've been enjoying the recipes :D and I used an 8 inch tin for this recipe but you could use a 7 inch tin you just need to make sure it's high enough (3 inches or more) and may need to adjust the cooking time. Still check at the 75 min mark and then if it needs more then bake for longer :)

[@neetabhatnagar9779]

Looks lovely; just wondered whether fruit cake and plum cake are the same.

[@CakesbyMK]

Good question! From what I know I think they're pretty much the same thing :)

Oh my alltime favorite Will definitely be trying this. Thanks

Hi mam! Can we substitute orange zest with lemon zest?

Hi MK! For the store bought sweeten orange juice, can I use freshly squeezed orange juice?

[@sd.6185]

Can this same method be used to make a cake when fruits soaked in alcohol. Thanks

[@ceciliawerner4717]

Oh my YUM!!!!! I would love to know how that would turn out!!!!!!❤😊

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! :) I haven't tried it myself but I imagine it should be fine! You just want to drain any excess liquid that the fruits are soaked in before boiling them with the other ingredients to ensure there isn't too much liquid in the batter :)

[@sd.6185]

Will give it a try....:)

[@oredipebukola9605]

Hi @MK. Thank you for all your videos you post, You rock🎉🎉 What can I used as a substitute for molasses and for the dried fruits you used

[@cathys949]

You could boil your fruit the night before and let it cool overnight, then proceed with baking in the morning. I always line my pans completely with greased parchment paper. This looks lovely! I love fruitcake, and when I bake them, baste them in sherry wine or brandy, wrap in muslin and store in a tin until Christmas.

[@silverpromidi]

How far ahead would you make the cake Cathy? I'm also wondering if a nice aged Port would be nice to baste the cake with.

[@julialucas1482]

This looks so easy and delicious. I like a dark fruit cake. I see that you used very little molasses. Is this the ingredient that determines how dark the crumb is?

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks Julia! :) And yes molasses plays a role in how dark the final cake is. You could add more molasses if you like however it can become over powering in this recipe so you may need to play around with it a little and see how much works best for you :)

[@ugeshnikhan]

My mum is the OG baker and she has been making fruit cake for decades. The entire family look forward to eating her fruit cake every year, even the raisin haters! She handed her recipe down to me a couple years ago and I've carried on the annual tradition. The recipe I have is a boiled fruit cake recipe and it is similar to your recipe here. I decided to add my own flare to Mum's recipe by using tea to plump up the dry fruit. I also add crystallised ginger and tart dried cherries to my fruit mix. I find that this creates the perfect balance, otherwise it's all just sweet.

[@CakesbyMK]

That sounds so so delicious! I'll have to try crystallised ginger and tart cherries next time :D

[@VeronicaMartinezSoberano]

What kind of tea did you use to hydrate the dry fruit?

[@ugeshnikhan]

I used standard black tea. Bergamont would probably work well too!@@VeronicaMartinezSoberano

[@melodyrainertregear896]

I recently learned that you shouldn't wrap it in foil because the acid in and on the cake reacts with the foil. You should apparently wrap it in baking paper or cling wrap and then wrap in foil so the acid can't react with the foil. Just thought I'd share that.

[@jasathick]

I have been following ur foolproof recipes,they are amazing.May I know if the baking with the fan on mode won’t dry the cake,pls enlighten me here,thank you in advance

[@CakesbyMK]

So so happy to hear you're enjoying the recipes :D and when using the fan mode you reduce the temperature by about 15 degrees C so it doesn't dry out the cake. I prefer the fan function as it more evenly heats the oven :) check out this video for more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGWaqXyimJdoY9E
