Ingredients
Here's what you'll need:
Fruit mixture: dried apricots, dates, raisins, sultanas, currants, and candied orange peel
Liquid mixture: brandy, vanilla extract, and honey
Other: butter, brown sugar, eggs, and blanched almonds
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Fruit Mixture
To start, soak the dried fruits and candied orange peel in brandy, honey, and vanilla extract for at least 24 hours. This will allow the fruits to absorb the flavors and become plump and juicy.
Step 2: Baking the Cake
Once the fruits have been soaked, it's time to preheat your oven to 300°F and grease a 9-inch round cake tin. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Next, sift in the dry ingredients and fold them into the butter mixture. Finally, stir in the fruit mixture until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Top with blanched almonds for an added crunch.
Step 3: Baking and Serving
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve the Christmas cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat. This recipe can also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week, making it the perfect make-ahead dessert for the busy holiday season.
