If you don't want to use alcohol, you can substitute apple or orange juice, but if you do you will have to freeze the cake if you want to keep it longer than three days (the alcohol preserves it).
Thank you for the recipe, my girlfriend made her first ever fruit cake and it was very good, she used most of what you used but didn't use and alcohol.. i don't recall what liquid she used. Actually she's never eaten fruit cake so this was her first ever fruit cake and she plans on making it ever Christmas.. she did research on different fruit cakes and saw some from other countries besides the English version. Have a blessed thanksgiving and a very blessful Christmas Ann ☺❤
My Dad used to make fruit cake when I was little so this video brought back memories for me! It's a wonderful treat around the holidays for sure! I may have to try baking this very soon!! Cheers, Anna! 🙏🇨🇦❤
Hi Anna, i baked this cake (6 of them) and they turned out beautifully moist and delicious. Thank you for this recipe. Merry Christmas from Singapore. 🎄
Love your recepies. Have made many of them. Successfully!!! First time attempting Christmas cake😬 How far in advance can it be made? How long can I store it and how/where??? Thanks
I've done this style of cake but I prepare it on November and keep it in the fridge. Every week or every 3 days I add a little more brandy so by Xmas Eve it has reached such a sweet and intense flavor but in a good way. It tastes amazing!!! Now I'm curious if all that effort is in vain and I just had to follow your steps 😆 thanks for the recipe!!! 💟💝
I used to make my own fruitcake (specifically, my father-in-law's recipe) many years ago. It is a super recipe, and, like this recipe, it is necessary to soak the fruit in alcohol at least overnight. The problem with that recipe is that it makes 12 loaf pans of fruitcake. Both of my parents-in-law, and one sibling, are no longer with us. My parents are gone. Long story short: no one to give this cake to. There are only the two of us, so this recipe looks like it might be more suitable.
Hai Anna merry Christmas , now Anna I love baking but unfortunately never ever baked one to everyone ' s satisfaction , to the he extent I stopped baking though I have followed your cooking bake with Anna Olson ,but after viewing your Christmas cake recepi every step by step baked it when I was alone OMG Anna not a single soul in my family believe it but I did took some pictures while I was working, my god hugs, kisses, praises and my all that was my this year's Christmas 🎄 gift all because of Anna tq.
Thanks Anna! My cake turned out delicious. I also added 1 1/2 teaspoons of allspice powder and did the painting with Rum 5-6 times while waiting for cake to cool.😉
Made these cakes today using an oven thermometer to be sure my oven was correct. Mine came out very dark after 2 hours. They smell amazing but I wish they looked like Anna's!
In my country, we usually steam the cake for hours. The cake will last longer (although it won't though because we can't stop eating it 😂) Instead of using alcohol, we soak dried fruits in warm water.
You can substitute apple or orange juice, but if you do you will have to freeze the cake if you want to keep it longer than three days (the alcohol preserves it).
Usually my sister in-law bakes for diwali. her i can say one of the best but she never share her recipe. Since now i have the recipe will try this xmas holiday
Molly O'Rourke traditional Irish fruit cake has Whisky in it and is quite strong, moist and sumptuous. I wish Costco would do the same with their fruit cake it needs some kick.
Hi Anna, thank you for a wonderful recipe, this jogs up so many childhood memories! If I want to halve the recipe for one cake, how much time I should bake? thanks again. :)
Hi Anna, I had tried baking the fruit cake using yr recipe. However, I had cracks on the top of the cake. Could you enlighten me as to how should I avoid the cake cracking on the top. Appreciate your comments. Thank you.
Anna böyle müthiş bir kek yemedim çok mükemmel görünüyor ellerine emeğine sağlık teşekkürler birde rica etsem bir panettone tarifi yayınlarmısın hoşçakal
Happy holidays Anna. I loved your recipe. You take care of each detail in this classic fruit cake. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us as a Gourmet Chef. Greetings from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
Oh yum Anna, I will try this...I’m one of the weird one...I love fruit cake. I also soak mine in rum or brandy... yes that’s a yes for my Xmas cheer. Thank u Anna for this recipe! Have a gr8 holiday!
If you don't want to use alcohol, you can substitute apple or orange juice, but if you do you will have to freeze the cake if you want to keep it longer than three days (the alcohol preserves it).
Please can you help by telling me the substitute of Brandy or Sherry?
In Islam they're prohibited...
Apple juice or orange juice!
@@ohyum thanks a lot
Oh Yum with Anna Olson can we use apple vinegar in stead of alcohol?
@@athraaraheem9582 Apple juice or orange juice
Your kitchen organization is amazing. God bless you
This is by far the best Fruit Cake ever!!! Thank you for another wonderful and delicious recipe!! You are the best, Chef Anna Olson xx
Thank you so much!
The best pastry chef i would say and i am so inlove with your recipes...

Thank you so much for this great recipe. I have made quite a number of times…🌸🌺
We have 2 fruit cakes in our home - one from each grandmother. Will make this and see if we now have a tri-fecta!! Looks delish!
That's a lot of fruit cake, but you won't hear us complaining! :)

I love fruit cake. Definitely will be making this recipe. 👍🏻👍🏻
Well explained, thanks for the same. Perfect measurements in gms. Be blessed
Isn't that the most prosperous cake ever!?! I've never eaten any cake with alcohol in it. Would love to try this recipe. 😍
We like to think it's very reasonable yet delicious cake! :)
Hey you can make three! You wrap them tightly after liberally coating them with brandy. Then recoat weekly untill it all eaten.
I looked for recipes for this cake, and this one for me is the winner!!!!! Thanks, Miss Olson. Greetings from Mexico city.
Thanks so much for your tips. Really appreciate it.
Thank you for the recipe, my girlfriend made her first ever fruit cake and it was very good, she used most of what you used but didn't use and alcohol.. i don't recall what liquid she used.

Anna thank you very much , for this delicious Fruit Cake!!!😊😋👍🏻
Thank you for sharing
(: Fruitcake - One of the Wonders of the World!!!!! .... ❤
Thanks for sharing
Plz I'll like to come learn physically how can I achieve this
I just LOVE fruit cakes. I dont understand many who doesn't, really - it's a moist, flavourful treat with booze - what's not to love?!
I think some people had bad experiences with the flavor when they were kids.
I used to make my own fruitcake (specifically, my father-in-law's recipe) many years ago. It is a super recipe, and, like this recipe, it is necessary to soak the fruit in alcohol at least overnight. The problem with that recipe is that it makes 12 loaf pans of fruitcake. Both of my parents-in-law, and one sibling, are no longer with us. My parents are gone. Long story short: no one to give this cake to. There are only the two of us, so this recipe looks like it might be more suitable.
Sounds great!
I think fruit cake gets a bad rap, this one is the ultimate gourmet treat!
If people give them a chance they will be pleasantly surprised!
You are absolutely right mam. I agreed.
The best fruitcake i've seen so far here in youtube.
I like fruit cake, is my favorite cake 🍰👍
Like OH YUM RECIPE ~

Wow! I think I might like fruit cake after all...with this delicious looking cake. Yum indeed. Or Rum indeed.
Hai Anna merry Christmas , now Anna I love baking but unfortunately never ever baked one to everyone ' s satisfaction , to the he extent I stopped baking though I have followed your cooking bake with Anna Olson ,but after viewing your Christmas cake recepi every step by step baked it when I was alone OMG Anna not a single soul in my family believe it but I did took some pictures while I was working, my god hugs, kisses, praises and my all that was my this year's Christmas 🎄 gift all because of Anna tq.
Thank you Anna for wonderfully yummy recipes... Can you pls share some alternate to Brandy
Thanks Anna! My cake turned out delicious. I also added 1 1/2 teaspoons of allspice powder and did the painting with Rum 5-6 times while waiting for cake to cool.😉
Fruity cake, nice cake to eat during tea time.
يا سلام عليكي يا احلي واجمل شيف في العالم
شكرا جزيلا!
Looks incredible. Never made one before but you've inspired me to give it a go.
Please let us know how it turns out!
ty so much love your videos have been looking for a good fruit cake. None of the others had a lot of good fruit or alcohol
Anna’s classic recipes are always THE BEST😍 Making this on Christmas for sure😁
I made this recipe today. Waiting for them to cool. One query - don't we need to dust the pans? Thanks for you beautiful videos.
Oh so yumm😍😋 definitely making this for Christmas
That's a great idea Andrea!
My all time fav and as always you nailed it like a super bakeman ✌🏾
Made these cakes today using an oven thermometer to be sure my oven was correct. Mine came out very dark after 2 hours. They smell amazing but I wish they looked like Anna's!
Traditional fruit cake usually is dark. Some people are colors, Browning or dark sugar for that color.
Love your tutorials, don’t u let it wrap it and wait 2 weeks or more before eating? also can u leave fruit soaking on the counter. Tx
I could one on my own! Gorgeous 😋
It's always nice to share around the holidays! :)
In my country, we usually steam the cake for hours. The cake will last longer (although it won't though because we can't stop eating it 😂) Instead of using alcohol, we soak dried fruits in warm water.

Oh Anna, you're just simply the best. Thank you for sharing your recipes for everyone to enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thank you Ken!

Anna, I love all your cooking & baking, how I wish I can be as good as you haha, ❤from Malaysia
Been waiting for this. Im so delighted when i saw you finally made a video about this. What brand of brandy is the best to. Use?
Its looks delicious..🤩.definitely gonna give it a try. And i really want to but plz give any non alcoholic replacement for brandy 🙏 plzzzz
You can substitute apple or orange juice, but if you do you will have to freeze the cake if you want to keep it longer than three days (the alcohol preserves it).
@@ohyum Okay, I will. Thank u so much.😊
I love your fruit cake recipe... 🥰😘❤, can i make half of your recipe only? Because i have small oven.. so it can only fit one rounded pan like yours 😓
Usually my sister in-law bakes for diwali. her i can say one of the best but she never share her recipe. Since now i have the recipe will try this xmas holiday

Hi Anna, thank you for a wonderful recipe, this jogs up so many childhood memories! If I want to halve the recipe for one cake, how much time I should bake? thanks again. :)
