    Thank you for crediting it to the place of origin. This is a cake that the Burghers of Ceylon/Srilanka have popularized and is part of their heritage to the Srilankan cultural cuisine.

      @Sukira69 I've been to Mauritius many times. The best Chinese food I've ever had was in Port Louis. Mind you, I lived in Malaysia for 6 years, where's there's a very big Chinese community. But the Port Louis Chinese restaurant was far better.

    There are no cakes like sri lankan. We are lucky to have an assortment of mind boggling cakes. Legacies from Dutch, Portuguese, Arab and English. Thru the years they have evolved together with sri lanka's own ethnic cakes with the yummy natural ingredients we are blessed with, like coconut and heavenly spices into creations that can never be tasted elsewhere.

Of course, it can vary a bit depending on the moisture, but that's the general weight I ended up with. It’s definitely a nice, dense cake!

    This is a great recipe, yummy and full of flavour. Thank you for sharing it. Moreover, it attests to the fact that the exchange of culinary traditions is never one-sided. The British have appropriated dishes from India and Sri Lanka, but the people from Sri Lanka adopted also recipes like the x-mas cake. To me, the present recipe looks even better than the British original, which is sometimes too heavy and therefore hard to digest.

      Allspice is actually one spice-it comes from the dried berries of the pimento tree. The name is because it tastes like a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It is used a lot in baking and holiday recipes, but also in some savory dishes like stews.
      If you do not have it, you can mix a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together to get a similar flavor. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas too! 🎄

    • @FoodHow
      @FoodHow  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      This cake has brandy, so it could stay good for up to 5-6 months if wrapped really well. But with the heat in India, around 28-33°C, it could be better to finish it within 2-3 weeks unless you have a cool, dark place to store it. If you are unsure, popping it in the fridge is a safe option to keep it fresh for longer

      For a closer match, you can use sherry, darkrum, or even Marsala. These have a richness similar to brandy.
      For non-alcoholic options, you could try unsweetened grape juice or pomegranate juice-they are less sweet and have a deeper flavor than orange juice. Strong brewed spiced tea can also add warmth, especially if you steep it with cinnamon or cloves. The key is balancing the flavors so it does not feel too sweet or flat.

    • @FoodHow
      @FoodHow  18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      For spices, you can add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom for a warm and festive flavor. Each adds its own depth, so a pinch of each goes a long way. The icing is usually a layer of marzipan followed by royal icing. To make the royal icing, whisk two egg whites until soft peaks form, then slowly add 500 grams of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Spread it over the marzipan layer for a smooth, classic finish. Let it dry completely before serving.

      You can keep this fruit cake at room temperature for up to six months as long as it is wrapped really well in parchment paper and plastic wrap. It stays moist and flavorful that way. You do not need to refrigerate it unless it is really warm or humid where you live. If you want to keep it longer, you can pop it in the fridge, but just make sure it is wrapped tight so it does not dry out.

      Brandy really gives this cake its rich, authentic flavor. If you leave it out, the cake will still be good, but it might not have that same depth. If you cannot use alcohol, you could try a bit of diluted brandy extract to get closer to the original taste.

    What alternative is there to the brandy for Muslims ?

    • @FoodHow
      @FoodHow  15 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      If you want to replace brandy in your fruitcake with something that comes close in flavor, diluted brandy extract is your best bet-it keeps that deep, rich taste without the alcohol. If you are looking for other options, spiced tea or strong brewed black tea can also work, adding a warm, complex flavor. These are more effective alternatives than just juices, giving your cake a similar richness to the original.

    How long we can keep this cake?

    • @FoodHow
      @FoodHow  16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      This fruit cake improves over time as the flavors blend and deepen. The longer it sits, the richer the taste becomes. Since it contains brandy, you can leave it at room temperature for up to several weeks. The alcohol helps preserve it, so it will stay fresh. For the best results, wrap the cooled cake in parchment paper, then in plastic wrap. This will keep the cake moist and help preserve its flavor as it ages.

    • @FoodHow
      @FoodHow  12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You can use rice flour instead of semolina, but the texture will be softer and less firm since rice flour is finer. Toasting it might help add flavor, but it will not give the same nutty, coarse texture that semolina does. It is worth trying if semolina is not an option!

      Yes, you can make this cake on a gas stove. Use a large, heavy-bottomed pan with a lid to create an oven-like setup. Place a trivet inside the pan to lift the cake tin off the bottom. Preheat the pan on medium heat for 10 minutes, then lower the heat. Put your prepared cake tin inside, cover it, and let it bake on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours. Check with a toothpick after the first hour, but do not open the lid too often. Keep the heat low to avoid burning. Similar how this honey cake is made here: th-cam.com/video/wX1p3FctMt4/w-d-xo.html

    • @FoodHow
      @FoodHow  17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Brandy in a Christmas fruit cake isn’t just for moisture-it really boosts the flavor. The alcohol helps soak into the dried fruits and nuts, bringing out their rich, deep taste. It gives the cake that classic Christmas flavor, balancing out the sweetness and spices. Plus, it helps preserve the cake, so it stays fresh longer. So while brandy makes the cake taste amazing, it also helps everything come together perfectly over time.

      I cannot say for sure how it will turn out without trying it. Based on similar recipes, replacing the eggs with flaxseed or chia seeds and using vegan butter should work, but the texture and flavor might change slightly. It would be an experiment, so I recommend trying small adjustments first to see how it goes!

      It sounds like the semolina might not have been toasted long enough or mixed thoroughly with the butter. Toasting it until golden and aromatic helps it blend better into the batter. Maybe give that a try next time!

      You can use sherry, dark rum, or even Marsala if alcohol is okay. These have a richness similar to brandy.
      For non-alcoholic options, you could try unsweetened grape juice or pomegranate juice-they are less sweet and have a deeper flavor than orange juice. Strong brewed spiced tea can also add warmth, especially if you steep it with cinnamon or cloves. The key is balancing the flavors so it does not feel too sweet or flat.
