It is like a cake which in my country is called "keks".It's very popular on Christmas.Sometimes we put chopped nuts and almonds inside and a little bit of vodka or dark rum :))) .Eric,your cake looks delicious.
Love fruitcake! I make my own using a Christmas flavoured recipe where I macerate the dried fruit in half Rum, half rectified spirit (95% alcohol content) and spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves and some allspice or nutmeg. It's delicious but I wouldn't recommend driving after eating a slice :)
Another one to add to the list, going to have another go at the pain au chocolat, have become very popular in our house, even though the recipe makes 12 , i put some in the freezer for later, but you can hear them calling to you.
I did not only see your Light Fruit Cake recipe but also made it... and it tasted absolutely DIVINE!!!
i looked up how to make glaceed fruits and it looks pretty simple. i might actually try it.
Thank you for this one. I have been looking for a fruit cake that is easy to make and whithout soaking the fruits a day ahead. Greetings from Sweden
Sir,You are fabulous baker,I totally loved this one

Awesome recipe....pls teach us to make basic sponge cake sir
No baking powder?
Fresh and deliciuos!
and yes that taste delicious..
why my cake sinks down a little bit..only the cake from middle.. not the fruit
That looks so good! I wonder, can you omit some of the fruit and replace with say chocolate chips and/or nuts?

This looks so delicious 😋
Could you put dried cherries in the batter instead of glacé cherries?
yes, don't forget to toss them in a bit of flour to avoid sinking!
also you might like to soak them in something like orange juice to plump them up
Hi Eric, are the oven temps used in the description box based a fan oven, or gas/electric?
Amazing recipe, using it as a quick xmas cake base soon!
Fruit cake gets a bad rap, especially on american TV programmes, but I like it especially around this time of year.
