Como fazer My Own Caribbean Christmas Fruit Cake Also Known As Great Cake

  1. 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.
  2. When ready to bake: Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and Angostura bitters.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the molasses (if using).
  8. The batter should be thick. A wooden spoon should stand upright in the batter without falling over easily.
  9. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  11. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  12. Place a shallow pan of water in the bottom of the oven to create a moist baking environment.
  13. 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.
  14. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan.
  15. 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.
  16. Repeat the pouring and soaking process as needed until the wine is absorbed.
  17. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
