Instructions to make Easy Christmas Cake #ChristmasBaking #Mombasa:
- Prepare the baking tin. For one cake you can use a 9″ round tin. I used a 6″ round tin and a small loaf tin. Grease the tin lightly with butter. Add about a tsp or so of flour and shake the tin to spread the flour around. Dust the sides too. Tap the tin gently over the sink to remove excess flour.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Sieve the flour, spices and baking powder together.
- Mix the nuts and dried fruits together. Add 1 tbsp flour to it and mix it. By doing this the fruit and nuts will not sink to the bottom of the cake while baking.
- Cream butter and sugar together till it is nice and fluffy. The color too will become a bit lighter.
- Add the zest and one egg. - Whisk till the egg is mixed into the sugar butter mixture.
- Add a tablespoon of flour and mix. - Add the second egg and whisk.
- Add a tablespoon of flour and mix. - Add the third egg and whisk.
- Add the juice and alcohol. Whisk. - Add remaining flour and fold well.
- Add the nuts and fruit mixture and fold it in gently. - Transfer the batter to the prepared tin/tins.
- Baking time will vary according to the size of the tin. 9″ one will take 55-60 minutes. My 6″ one took 45-50 minutes and the small loaf one took 35 minutes.
- The top should be nice golden brown color and when you insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake it should come out clean if the cake is done.
- Remove the tin from the oven. Let the cake rest in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Then remove it carefully and let it cool down completely on a wire rack.Christmas cake is ready to be enjoyed with friends and family.
- Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. - Use lemon zest instead of orange zest. - Replace the alcohol with juice or water.
