BOILED FRUIT CAKE

Recipe : http://www.joyofbaking.com/FruitCake.html

I doubled the recipe.

This recipe is called "boiled fruit cake" when in fact, the cake is baked, not steamed. The "boiled" part refers to the boiling together of the sugar, water, butter and some dried fruit.


What I did differently from the recipe

• cranberries 170g (1 packet of Del Monte cranberries), SunMaid raisins - 2 handfuls,no cherries, mixed fruit 500g (recipe : cranberries 130g, raisins 250g, cherries 150g, mixed fruit 350g)


• brown sugar 250g (recipe : 420g)


• I baked the cakes in a bain marie for about 60 mins, then removed them from the bain marie and baked for (almost) another 30 mins.

Yield : 4 small,aluminium foil loaf tins from Phoon Huat

Ta dah!

Mixed fruit (aka candied fruit peel) usually contains

• sultanas/raisins


• citrus peel


• glace cherries


• preserved papaya (aka "chelory" or "paw paw")


• a whole lot of sugar!!
