Christmas is coming and as I've been making mini Christmas cakes and will soon be starting on my own Christmas cake I thought I'd share the recipe I use.
Condensed Milk Christmas Cake
Boil together:
1 cup water
1 kilo (2lbs) mixed dried fruit
225gms (8ozs) butter
small tin pineapple ( I use crushed pineapple)
1 Tblsp mixed spice
1 Tblsp vinegar
1 Tblsp marmalade.
Cool it. Once the mixture has cooled add 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tin of condensed milk. Mix well.
Add 2 large cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tblsp sherry.
Place in a 10 inch tin and bake at 120degs Celsius for 4 hours.
I turn the heat down once the fruit starts boiling and leave it just bubbling away for about 5 minutes. That way it doesn't get too dry and makes a nicer cake.
Take care and we'll all catch up later.

Yum!
ReplyDeleteI think I have this recipe but have never made it. It sounds easy enough. I like easy. I think I might just make one. If you make your mini cakes from this it must be good!!
ReplyDeleteI did make the minis from this, just adjusted the cooking time. And it is very easy 😄
DeleteThat sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of adding pineapple to Christmas cakes, I guess it would make a nice addition that's a bit different, I also add allspice and cinnamon to mine.
