That cake wrapped up in tinfoil looks EXACTLY like Christmas to me ! When I was a kid my mum would make her Christmas cakes and puddings at the beginning of November and wrap them all up in parchment and tinfoil and leave them in our spare back bedroom. That's where she stored extra food tins and UHT milk etc (a hangover from her experience during rationing) and I would walk in and see a pile of tinfoil-wrapped deliciousness and know that Christmas was coming and I would get to eat pudding and cake made expertly and with love.
Now that she is gone it is one of my happiest memories and I make cakes and puddings at Christmas and shed a little tear thinking of those tinfoil wrapped cakes x
Lovely comment - thank you. Ive just fed my cake today with some more brandy and re wrapped will be making marzipan and icing later - Hope you make the cake. Its defiantly worth the memories. Best, Rik
I've been after a decent xmas cake recipe, this looks amazing.
It's so good! Thank you. Best, Rik
This is what my momma use to make minus the air cooker. 😊😊
Rita, mums are always right! Best, Rik
Fab cake on the menu for next Christmas! I bought the air fryer you recommended Rik and it is so good I have got my cooking mojo back all down to watching your videos! Big thank you 😍
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Absolute English Christmas scrumptious delight!! Cant wait to try. I have been an avid bowl-licker since I was 5! And still going strong with it. Blessings.
Well done! Folks are terrified in case they become ill. When I was a kid and watched mum baking she always let us have a tsp, and we could go round the bowl and never had a day's illness. Memories. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Oh yes the memoires. My mother always let us lick the cake batter left over in the bowl. And one time in my 30s ( even that was 20 years ago), I licked so much cake batter, I was only able to cook one layer!!!! LOLOLOL But all memories of my wonderful dear Mother (RIP). Christmas is still a bit sad without her. She passed during the horrible COVID times in 2020. But I do it up very special for Christmas every year in her honor. And blessings to you!!
Lovely comment - Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks great Rik, look forward to seeing you unravel it when it’s full of brandy. I hope that your subscribers appreciate how much money you spend on your recipes. It’s certainly not cheap here in Thailand these days and the products to use for each and every recipe must really mount up. Thanks for the recipes and best wishes,
Eh, come on! We are all living life, aren't we? Ha ha ha. Those that really live here know most of the things here are equivalent to the prices in the West - that could be a factor why there aren't many tourists - it's not been a cheap place for 10 years. 20 years ago, it definitely was. I've seen it change. The old purse strings are getting tighter, Best, Rik
Looking good Rik. 😉👍
Thanks. Best, Rik
Hi rik. I myself have the HYSepientia oven, and will be making this, it looks amazing. Keep the recipes coming. Your brilliant to watch. 👍
No worries its a good little oven. Best, Rik
Wish l had known this could have been baked in air fryer, like yesterday, mine took 3 and half hours, but still loved watching, 😅
Thanks, Linda. Sorry I'm a day late. Best, Rik
Thank you Rik for this beautiful Christmas cake recipe, it looks so delicious 😋 new subscriber here 🙌🏼. Best Lisa
Thanks and welcome Lisa. Hope you enjoy there will be some decorating coming on it in a week or so - I'm making sure its fed with enough brandy before then. Best, Rik
Enjoy watching you cook Rik.
Regarding Christmas or festive food, have you ever made a panettone?
Would love to see you make one.
Yes I have about 25 years ago. Might have a go at that. Its just a little time consuming between rises. Its the time of year for it - Christmas / new year. I will actually see if i can squeeze it in somewhere - can't promise but will see. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Cheers Rik - or make for Easter if time is tight. Would make a great video.
👍🌲☃️🇸🇪
I found your channel through the HYSpaientia channel and I love your vids. I just wanted to ask you what you use to clean the inside of your air fryer ? Yours is spotless and I would love to find out what to use from someone who actually KNOWS x
I have used good old elbow work with washing up detergent, I have used the old fashioned way of baking powder and have used Mr Muscule - to be honest you really have to keep on top of it. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I try to keep on top of it but I have a damaged back and that makes it difficult to really scrub. I will try Mr Muscle and I am glad to know that my bicarb is something you have also tried (so I have confirmation it is ok to use on this oven) Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours
Rik what is the depth of the cake tin please..
Also where did you get your red cherries in Thailand.
Thanks👍👍
8 inch spring form, red cherries from baking shop Yok in Chiangmai. Best, Rik
Airfryers are not created equal. While this cake works well in this type of oven, it wont as well in the type which has a slide in basket. I have tried making cakes in a round tin in a basket type and its difficult to get it cooked evenly. They overcook on the outer while the middle stays undercooked. I have yet to try in a ring tin which would allow the heat to spread out from the funnel.
Check out Butlers empire. They make one in the basket air fryer and it came out great. But I did need to cover it for half the cooking time as the top was very brown.
I'm surprised there was no raising agent at all - is that right?
In traditional Christmas cakes, no raising agent is typically used because the cake is designed to be dense and moist, rather than light and fluffy like cakes that use raising agents. The key ingredients in a traditional Christmas cake are flour, eggs, and mixed dried fruits (such as raisins, currants, cherries, and citrus peel). The reasons for not using a raising agent are:
1. Dense Texture: The primary feature of a Christmas cake is its dense, rich texture. This is achieved through the heavy proportion of dried fruits and nuts. Raising agents like baking powder or soda would make the cake lighter and fluffier, which is not desired in this type of cake.
2. Eggs for Structure: Eggs are used not only for binding but also to provide some lift and structure to the cake. The proteins in eggs help to set the cake as it bakes, compensating to some extent for the absence of a chemical leaver.
3. Long Cooking Time: Traditional Christmas cakes are cooked slowly at a low temperature. This long cooking time allows the cake to set and develop flavor without the need for a raising agent. A raising agent could cause the cake to rise quickly and then fall, leading to an undesirable texture.
4. Historical Recipe: The recipe for traditional Christmas cakes dates back to a time when raising agents were not commonly used or available. Over time, the recipe has remained popular for its rich taste and texture, which is closely associated with the festive season.
5. Aging of the Cake: Christmas cakes are often made well in advance of the holiday and are "fed" with alcohol, such as brandy or rum, to enhance their flavor and preserve them. The dense nature of the cake without raising agents makes it more suitable for this aging process.
In summary, the absence of a raising agent in a traditional Christmas cake is intentional, to achieve the specific dense and rich texture that is characteristic of this festive dessert. Hope this helps. Best, Rik
You lost me on the cherries... Dried strawberries would be much better...
The choices we can all make - make it a perfect cooking world. Best, Rik
