Exactly a month to go for Christmas and the tree will be up and decorated, the star will be lit up outside your window, you’re going to be all happy and how can we forget the traditional Christmas cake.
Here is a very quick and simple recipe just for you.
Ingredients:
1kg mixed dried fruits
2½ cups (600ml) milk or almond milk
2¾ cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon sherry, rum or whisky, to brush (optional)
Icing sugar (to dust)
Instructions:
Place the dried fruits in a bowl, cover with milk and leave to soak in overnight in the fridge.
The next day, preheat oven to 160°C and line a medium (23cm diameter) spring form cake tin with baking paper.
Stir the flour into fruit mixture until it is evenly combined and smooth into a prepared tin.
Bake until it rises up, sets and is golden. Insert a skewer into the center and see if it comes out clean (check after about 1¼ hours and return to oven for a little longer if needed).
Remove from oven and while it is still hot, brush with sherry, rum or whisky. Cool in the tin before turning out.
Dust with icing sugar before serving it.
Store in an airtight container, it will remain for 3-4 weeks.
