Off late, I have been baking Fruit Cake quite often. Though I love fruit cake, but I seldom want to buy the ready bakery baked ones as they are usually too sweet. I have a few keeper recipe in hand, so anytime when I yearn to have it I will just bake one to enjoy. Last week I bake an orange-flavoured fruit cake, which is so light and moist. This is another keeper recipe to share with all fruit cake lovers....
Ingredients:
250g plain flour (sifted)
250g unsalted butter (softened)
250g dry fruit mix
150g castor sugar (actual amount is 170g)
2 tsp baking powder (sifted)
1/2 cup freshly squeeze orange juice
2 tbsp condensed milk
4 eggs
Methods:
- Soak dry fruit mix in orange juice overnight.
- Beat butter and castor sugar until light and creamy.
- Add in one egg at a time and beating well after each addition.
- Mix in flour little by little, alternating with milk and stir until well mixed.
- Add in fruit mix together with the orange juice and stir to mix.
- Spoon mixture into a lined 7.5" square cake tin.
- Bake in a preheated oven of 170 degree Celsius for 60 - 70 minutes or when a wooden skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Let it sit in the cake tin for 10 minutes and transfer to wire rack to cool.
- Enjoy it warm, at room temperature or cool from the fridge. After 2 days I place the leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge.
