Cómo preparar My Own Caribbean Christmas Fruit Cake Also Known As Great Cake
- Three months before baking: Combine the mixed dried fruits in a large bowl. Pour the rum or brandy over the fruits, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover the bowl and store in a cool, dark place.
- When ready to bake: Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and Angostura bitters.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the molasses (if using).
- The batter should be thick. A wooden spoon should stand upright in the batter without falling over easily.
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place a shallow pan of water in the bottom of the oven to create a moist baking environment.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 275°F (135°C) for 2.5-3 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan.
- Once slightly cooled, prick the cake all over with a skewer. Slowly pour the sweet red wine over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed.
- Repeat the pouring and soaking process as needed until the wine is absorbed.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
