Comment préparer Christmas Fruitcake Eggless
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line a large (9x13 inch or similar size) square or round cake tin with parchment paper; grease the paper as well.
- In a large saucepan, combine: 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, sultanas), 1 cup chopped apricots, ½ cup chopped dates, ½ cup candied peel, ½ cup glacé cherries, ½ cup chopped mixed nuts, 1 cup self-raising flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground cloves, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, 1 cup boiling water.
- Stir well, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Stir in ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 tsp baking soda. The mixture will fizz.
- Once the mixture has cooled further, transfer it to the bowl of an electric mixer.
- On the lowest speed, gradually add: 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup strong brewed black coffee, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp almond extract, ½ cup brandy or whisky.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in: 1 cup chopped fresh figs, 1 cup whole maraschino cherries, ½ cup roughly chopped nuts, using a wooden spoon.
- Pour batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
- Bake for 1 hour at 375°F (190°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
- Cover loosely with double-layered aluminum foil after the first hour to prevent burning.
- Bake for an additional 1 hour, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, place the cake on waxed paper in an airtight container.
- Before serving at Christmas, drizzle with an additional ½ cup of brandy, whisky, or bourbon 2-3 times, allowing it to absorb between drizzles.
