1-yr blog anniversary and Fruit Cake
>> Friday, April 16, 2010
It's hard to believe one year ago I posted my first entry on this blog. So much has happened since then. I've met many amazing foodies and improved my baking and cooking skills. As well I've found a new love: photography. I want to thank all of you who read and comment and support my passion for food. It's been a blast!
To mark this occasion, I made a fruit cake.
Ingredients :
- Dried cherries - 1/8 cup
- Dried berries - 1/2 cup
- Raisins - 1/4 cup
- Sultanas - 1/4 cup
- Currants - 1/4 cup
- Chopped candied citron - 1 tbsp
- Dark rum - 1/4 cup
- Butter - 1/2 cup
- Brown sugar - 1/4 cup

- All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
- Baking soda - 1/8 tsp
- Salt - 1/4 tsp
- Ground mixed spice - 1/2 tsp
- Milk - 2 tbsp
- Dark rum - 1/4 cup
1. Soak cherries, Sultanas, raisins, berries, currants & citron in 1/4 cup rum for one day. Cover tightly & store at room temperature.
2. Cream the butter & brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg.
3. Sieve together flour, baking soda, salt & spice powder. Mix into butter & sugar, alternating with milk. Stir in the soaked fruits.
4. Bake in preheated oven at 325 F for 45 mins or until done. Cool in the pan for 15 min & sprinkle the 2 tbsp of rum on the top & sides of cake.
