Christmas Fruit Cake | Party Dessert

Jump to Recipe
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Fruit cakes are a big deal, not just in my city but all over the world. Just the other day, I was speaking to one of my childhood friends, living in Canada. She is an excellent baker. And I remember relishing her fruit cakes and other baked goodies whenever I used to visit her before she moved out to North America. She’s my biggest inspiration when it comes to baking and was flattered and overwhelmed to hear that she’s an ardent follower of my blogs and quite fond of my recipes.

I have made many other cake recipes in a pressure cooker as well like eggless rava cake, vanilla Cake, chocolate cake, tutty fruity cake, No Bake Oreo Ice-cream Cupcake, etc.

Since Christmas is also around the corner and fruit cakes are a staple of this festival, I thought of sharing my Christmas Fruit Cake recipe today. Mine is not the dreaded one but a rich fruit cake recipe that’s moist, flavourful and full of dry fruits. It’s perfect for the holiday season. If you are fond of your grandma’s fruit cake recipe, you would love mine too! Try this out if you have enjoyed my Bread Biscuit Cake, Oreo Cake and Tea Time Chocolate Cake recipes.

I won’t shy away from tagging it as the ‘best fruit cake recipe for Christmas’ because it is nothing short of indulgent and has every ingredient that local bakers use. No need to book your slots for a nut-encrusted mix fruit cake this time. Stay at home and prepare it yourself.

Notes

  1. Instead of brown sugar, you may use castor sugar but limit the quantity though the former is preferable for adding a nice caramel flavour and colour.
  2. Don’t fill the batter to the brim of the moulds as it would rise while baking.
