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

Following and watching from Canada. Thank you for all your recipes, you have become my go to for all my baking. I also love that it's easy to half or double the ingredients on your website without doing any calculations....and your baking is delicious without being too sweet (hate most North American desserts, they are too sweet)! I am starting my fruit cakes today using your recipe!

[@CakesbyMK]

Aww thank you so much! So happy to hear you've been enjoying the recipes and hope you enjoy the fruit cakes! Much love from NZ to Canada :)

First time watching you baking from the Caribbean I always bake fruit cake at Christmas time so I love fruit cake but am going try your recipe this time be bless.

[@summerrose1545]

I hated fruit cakes as a kid, but now as an adult I like it a lot. My MIL always requests fruit cakes from me for festivities and gatherings.

[@andykirkup1970]

thanks for this- I made this cake for xmas last month. My UK family visiting us in New Zealand loved it. So Moist. I did pour a little brandy over it for traditional sake - but it really didn't need it . Thankyou. So Good

[@sinijoseph4458]

Very delicious, I made this cake yesterday and it came out very good .

[@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.

[@sheerinkhan4968]

Wow I am loving this Alhumdulilah finally a fruit cake without alcohol that looks so moist and im sure very delicious. Pure Halal fruit cake 😋 cant wait to try this recipe. 😍😘❤️

[@TaraL24]

I made your cake today and I think it was the best fruit cake I’ve ever had! I don’t like alcohol so having orange juice was brilliant! I think you are fantastic! ❤ from a fan in the Uk 🇬🇧

[@SFVGIRL]

I can't wait to make this recipe. Ive been wanting a fruit cake like yours. I disliked them in my younger years. They were always dry or too wet with booze, etc. Your recipe is how i would dream up a fruit cake to my liking! Thank you for sharing your fabulous recipes with us ❤

Thank you MK.... For this awesome recipe of fruit cake 🎂 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

Its like you read my mind.. i wanted to make a fruit cake for Christmas and I thought of requesting you for a recipe.. and here I have a wonderful recipe from you 😊 thank you so much.. i trust only your recipes when it comes to baking cakes 🎉

[@CakesbyMK]

Aww thank you so much for your confidence in my recipes Harshita! Hope you enjoy it :)

[@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]

Rest in the fridge?

A big THANK YOU dear MK...your fruit cake was so delicious. A Muslim friend requested me to make a non alcohol fruit cake. Am used to making only alcohol infused fruit cake. Was scrolling through KZbin for a perfect easy one. Thank God I found yours. I made it and tomorrow I will courier it to him. Had leftover cake batter...made a small cake...it's so delicious 😋😋😋 Thank you once again and Happy New Year 🎉❤😊

Mk I'm a Ugandan and love your presentation. Thank you.

[@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 ❤️

[@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.

I love fruit cakes, since moving to the US, I haven’t had a good fruit cake. Your recipe looks easy to make so I will definitely try to make it.

[@juliagrant567]

United States does not know how to make fruit cake.

[@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.

[@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

[@chrislindalusungumazingali4643]

Beautiful tutorial

[@kashish5810]

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 :)

[@mymoenajaffer5483]

Oh my alltime favorite Will definitely be trying this. Thanks

[@sheebapauline2]

For alcohol version, Can I add rum to the fruits?? Or use fruits soaked in rum in the butter mixture??

[@sallynaidu1000]

Thanks for the delicious recipe 😋 😘

[@shadoweagle4112]

Karmin is right… all the above is excellent as is … however with adding red label port wine and even pouring on top of cake or soaking in wine makes a huge difference in taste … yum yum ❤ Loving ur vids❤

Will pouring the orange sugar mix over the cake cause any mould to form when cake is left at room temp?

[@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

[@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!

[@dorothyjacobs294]

I totally understand mk you not using alcohol in your recipe. I think it awesome your cake. I tweaked As a born and bred Catholic I boiled the fruits in 1/2 orange juice and 1/2 inbrandy. The end result was super.

[@clareleach921]

Because muslims do not drink or consume alcohol

[@healthismywealth9668]

Make some holes with the skewer and pour the orange juice on top. You can also use pineapple juice.

[@RoseEsrosy]
