I’m a Scottish baker who grew up watching my grandmother and my mother make delicious traditional home bakes ~ my favourite was fruit cake! I have continued on the tradition and just had to see what your video was all about ~ WELL DONE a lovely recipe beautifully presented 👏❤️👏. I’m really impressed and I’ve now subscribed to your channel 👍
Thank u so much and what a beautiful way to start my day watching this easy and very simple way to make this favorite cake I love so much. Stay blessed and yes, I was also looking for an easy recipe which I'll enjoy this Christmas❤❤God bless🙏
Thank you for sharing you clear step by step instructions on this English classic fruit cake. It sure looked delicious and tasty thanks for sharing and greetings from Beth and Simon 👍🧡🙋💯
That was a wonderful video. It was very well made with pleasant music, the recipe well written at the beginning and super easy to follow instructions. I have been looking for a simple fruit cake recipe and this is perfect. Thank you!
I don't know why fruit cake has such a bad reputation. The one made here looks outstanding. I would love to enjoy a slice of that and a cup of coffee on Christmas morning.
An old man and I cook quite ok but have baked very little and rarely - I have however taken a liking to this cake recipe and the excellent presentation. I will certainly give this a try. One question, is this a cake one could add a little brandy to over a few days? Many thanks.
I had a slice with Wensleydale cheese when we were up in the Dales years ago. Served like that. The crumbly tangy cheese went so well with the fruitcake.
Loved this recipe. Well done. Need to make this by Christmas. I sure would love to know the music in your video. My type of background music while I cook and bake. Look forward to hearing the artist. Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much for this video. PLEASE let me know the artist for the music. I've tried looking for "far away"title but what I find is not your version of it on here. What a wonderful music score for your baking. Warm regards
Thank you so much for this video. PLEASE let me know the artist for this music. I've tried by looking up "far away" but to no avail. I would appreciate your info on the music.
@@myfancybaking Thank you for responding, I've found many versions of this song title and different artist, but not the one you have on the video. The one you've chosen isa smooth jazz feel, who is the artist?? Please and Thank you
Help. I have never been able to make a successful cake. I tried this recipe, the top was burnt(not completely black) and the cake was so crumbly if fell apart when I tried to cut a slice. What did I do wrong? (It tastes good!)
First, after 20 min cover the cake with aluminum foil and second , do not cut the warm cake keep the cake in refrigerator for 6 hour for nice slice. Thanks for the comment 💖💖
Must try it’s a really very delicious cake. After baking refrigerate it overnight it’s a tip for beautiful cake slice . I always use music from VLLO app its a free app .thanks👍
In aus the brown sugar isn't grainy, we get dried fruit in a pack aready mixed, and self raising flour, so this looks pretty complicated to me. This is a light fruit cake, we get dark ones and boiled fruit cake, which is even quicker. All the best.
Hi Kathleen, ignore the negative comment from tessa,i you weren't being rude at all i made a boiled fruit cake recently for Christmas the family loves it.
That recipe looks really good I've had many food cakes and I just hated them I think it is the candied fruit except for the cherries are good also the lemon and orange candy fruit is what I don't like so I'm going to try your recipe without the lemon and orange everybody's different you know I also like the English figgy pudding recipes better actually I am an American in California as I said I prefer the English figgy pudding or plum pudding recipes
When I saw you putting the jam on top I thought that meant you were going to put marzipan on top and possibly royal icing later. Would that be possible as I think it would make a nice and not too heavy Christmas cake.
Thanks for the recipe. I have converted this recipe to an American version for those who don't want to Google all the conversions.

Ohhh thank you soooooooooo much dear for your lovely comment . Enjoyyyyy💗
Christmas everyday mate lol
I agree. I always bake a traditional fruit cake for Christmas as I am not a fan of a solid heavy cake and loads of icing and marzipan.
I didn't know that fruit cake had a bad reputation. Certainly this one looks delicious. I'll certainly try it then add it to my repertoire. Thanks.
@@stephenguppy7882 I like both!
An old man and I cook quite ok but have baked very little and rarely - I have however taken a liking to this cake recipe and the excellent presentation. I will certainly give this a try. One question, is this a cake one could add a little brandy to over a few days? Many thanks.
Yes you can use brandy or Orange juice as you like . Thanks for the nice comment 💗
Raisins in rum over 🌙 night👍
I had a slice with Wensleydale cheese when we were up in the Dales years ago. Served like that. The crumbly tangy cheese went so well with the fruitcake.

Now that’s a different way of enjoying a slice of fruit cake....very original! Will definitely give that a go!
Oh yes. Cheese with fruit cake..yum ! And...have tried frying a slice of fruit in butter? Also yum ❤

Are you including the raisins and sultanas into the 300g candied peel? Very unclear.
Yes included raisins 300g 👍
This recipe so easy and looks yummy. Thank you For sharing. God bless you. Thank you Jesus Prince of Peace. 🙏❤️🎵💃🎶
You are welcome 💗

Bit rude, no one said it was quicker than anyone else's.and obviously can't get the ingredients you can.
Hi Kathleen, ignore the negative comment from tessa,i you weren't being rude at all i made a boiled fruit cake recently for Christmas the family loves it.
That doesn't look like the brown sugar I buy either. More like a demerera sugar going from how the grains look.
Yep, we are lucky! 🇦🇺
It’s not at all complicated
The best dish comes from your heart I'm looking at your heart
Thank you so much💗
Thanks that’s beautiful Why i don’t make I’ll never know so easy better than bought ones 🇬🇧❤️
You are welcome dear 💖
I wonder if a fruit cake without a single spice can taste like a fruit cake
Maravilha 😊
Thank you so much💖
Would this recipe work just as well with currants, raisins and sultanas and not the other ingredients as I don’t like them… thanks… 😊
May do but it wouldn't be this recipe.
@@tessalister1226 unfortunately I don’t like the candied peel or the cherries, but understand what your saying…
@@tesslevmart maybe try a Madeira cake recipe .
Yes you can use any fruit as you like 👍
@@myfancybaking thanks for that, I’m going to give this a try…. London uk 🇬🇧
Hi, what is the size of your baking tin?
Pan size 11 x 27 thank you💖
@@myfancybaking , thank you
How much of the dried fruits do you add?
300g dried and candied fruit👍
Can I use self raising flour
Yes you can use self raising flour but skip the baking powder.
Tq
Tao maravilhoso 🤩abraços de Brazil🇧🇷
Thank you sooooo much💖💖
Appreciate if can share eggless fruitcake. Tqvm
Ok I will try . Thanks 💖
@@myfancybaking looking forward. Tqvm

Thank you so much for your nice comment. My next video is plum Christmas pudding keep watching my channel for your favorite desserts💖
Very nice thanks.U.S.A
You are welcome thanks.
Looks good but i think the eggs r less compared to the amt of fruits n flour..i put spices n equal amts of ingredients
You can use 3 eggs but then cake becomes spongy😊
When I saw you putting the jam on top I thought that meant you were going to put marzipan on top and possibly royal icing later. Would that be possible as I think it would make a nice and not too heavy Christmas cake.
Thank you so much for your comment . My next fruit cake is with marzipan will be uploaded tomorrow .👍
I'm just surprised no one has come along and wanted measurements in imperial or cups. Though maybe they have past the comments I got up to.
Sorry but now you can get the recipe in cups plz check the pin comment. Thanks👍
You can make this cake with just flour dried fruit and some cold tea.
Cake looks good. Try make it and have a hot cup tea. Enjoy your day ❤
No one said you couldn't. This is not that recipe.
I ❤ fruitcake, just no nuts please!
Y my fruit cake dry followed the same recipe
I don’t know dear . But you must wrap the cake and refrigerate for overnight . May be your measurement is not correct 😊
Nice but far too crumbly. Cant cut a slice without it all disintegrating into crumbs.
Dear you can refrigerate your cake overnight for a wonderful slice👍
Thank you. Yes, idiscovered if i put it in the fridge it helped stay together. Lovely cake anyway.@@myfancybaking
I love a fruit cake those who give it bad press are missing out .!😮
Per me visto il video il lievito mi sembra di più di due cucchiaini
❤
I have used baking powder not yeast dear👍
Spices?
All spices
