Never in a million years did I think fruit cake would make it to my top 10 favourite cakes of all time! IT IS SO GOOD I PROMISE! :) :) Get the full written recipe here: cakesbymk.com/recipe/easy-moist-fruit-cake/
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.
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.
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.!
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!
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.
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. 😍😘❤️
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 🎉
I am SO glad I’ve come across your channel. I’ve been binge watching all your videos - I even watched it at the dentist’s today to distract me. Can I please request a few recipes? Rose flavoured cake, pandan cake, earl gray cake and flan. Thank and much love from Canada 🇨🇦🍁 ♥️
This fruit cake looks delicious thank you for the recipe I will definitely be making this recipe,it will be a lovely cake for Christmas,easy to make look forward to making it greetings from Dublin Patricia 🇮🇪
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 ❤️
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.
I’ve made many of your cakes and they’ve turned out delicious for me, yesterday I made the fruit cake and it was great, I’ve found your recipe’s to be different ( in a good way ) from others I’ve tried, Thanks! - Marzia
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.
Looks divine! I am from the South and we add at least 2 cups pecans to our fruitcake, as well as dried cherries, pineapple and golden raisins. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
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 🇬🇧
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 TH-cam 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 🎉❤😊
Woow I'm just amazed by the Outcome of this Cake, I Tried this Recipe&i've just fell in love with it, 😊Thank you so much for sharing this amazing Recipe
Delicioso😋😋😋😋Hola MK la receta que estaba esperando para este fin de año. Gracias por compartirla estoy a tiempo para practicarla. Saludos desde Panamá
Hi Dearest MK i have tried most of your recipes n also buttercream frosting which is less sweet.. u r just awesome ❤ i would love to request you to please upload a White Chocolate Mocha cake with less sweet American buttercream frosting ❤❤
Aww yay! So so happy to hear you enjoyed it :D if you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog, it really helps my content out! Thanks so much again for trying the recipe :)
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.
Love fruit cake when it is made properly-this sounds perfect MK! Oh yeah, do not forget the orange zest. I am making black cake this year, similar to my annual fruit cake.
I baked 3 cakes in 2 weeeks as a first timer!! Thanks to you!❤ My first chocolate bday cake for my husband was soooo good it gave me confidence to bake more😄 This weekend I'm gonna try your brownies recipe. P.S can you also show us how to make Biscoff cookie butter cake pleaseee
Aww so so happy to hear you've been enjoying the recipes and that they've given you confidence to keep baking - that's so awesome! :D If you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave reviews on my blog for the ones you've tried (if you haven't already), it really helps my content out :D and will definitely keep a biscoff cake in mind for future recipes :)
I loved your recipe because you used lest eggs tan the other recipes. I like also the way you used your fruits in all i preferred your recipe to the rest. I'm a Jamaican.Big up.👍🇯🇲
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.
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
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 :)
Hola Mk, soy MC, otra vez, perdón, quiero hacer este maravilloso bizcocho pero tengo una duda. Cdo dices que pones media cucharadita de todas las especias, que pongo? Si ya haz agregado canela, jengibre y nuez???😊
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?
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!

We don't have molasses in Nigeria
Can I use brownie
Molasses is black treacle. Ask in a cake shop. Also browning is ok but it will give it a blank taste 😊@@maryawotuboige4521
Oven settings pls, both rods? fand on? etc
Do you know how many kgs did you get from it
Hi suchi.. did u used molasses or just brown sugar?
Thank you a million times for all you do.
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.!
As a Muslim we can't use alcohol for any ways.
No-alcoholic wine, as in sparkling grape juice?
Rest in the fridge?
@@fazkb5127do you know what non-alcoholic wine means??
@@fazkb5127 the poster said to use anything "none alcoholic"

Thank you beautiful one. It looks delicious and I am going to try this!
hi i love a good fruit cake thank you for sharing this amazing recipe 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️🇹🇹🇹🇹
I loved your recipe because you used lest eggs tan the other recipes. I like also the way you used your fruits in all i preferred your recipe to the rest. I'm a Jamaican.Big up.👍🇯🇲
MK you are amazing Masha’Allah,love all your recipes Alhamdulilah. Love and dua’s from Uk❤
Am trying this way . Have been making fruit cake long way now am on it. ❤ it is just precise
For alcohol version, Can I add rum to the fruits?? Or use fruits soaked in rum in the butter mixture??
Thanks for that. I will try it. Love your no nonsense
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,
I saw this and decided to make it straight away…it’s in the oven now… I’m so excited ❤ thanks for the lovely recipe!
How did it turn out
Hola Míriam. Hice esta receta y salió espectacular. Deliciosa. Gracias por compartir
Wonderful recipe
You are the best thank you for all your delicious recipes 😊from Barbara
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.
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.
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
You can even put blackcurrant juice yumm 😋
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 :)
Make some holes with the skewer and pour the orange juice on top. You can also use pineapple juice.
Will pouring the orange sugar mix over the cake cause any mould to form when cake is left at room temp?
my favorite fruit cake is Stollen - yum!
Hola Mk, soy MC, otra vez, perdón, quiero hacer este maravilloso bizcocho pero tengo una duda. Cdo dices que pones media cucharadita de todas las especias, que pongo? Si ya haz agregado canela, jengibre y nuez???😊
Can we add rum to your cake?. If yes at which stage and how much ml?. Thanks ❤ love your recipes
So happy to have a fruit cake without alcohol thanks
I just made it last night and I cannot wait to pass the 48 hrs mark! It’s almost 24 hours now , can I cut them? The smell is divine!!
Looks very delicious. I enjoyed watching you on the tube👍👍❤❤
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?

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!
It's going to be so yummy❤
Right on time! I was looking for a new fruit cake recipe to try. Will let you know how it turns out. Thank you in advance! Anna 🇵🇭
How did it go
Very good. Reduced the o.j. from 166g to 136g. Added 30g rum.
Have to give this one a go! Thanks
Thank you 🙏. Could you please share the traditional orange cake
You're so welcome! Will keep an orange cake in mind for future videos :)
