Easter Fruit Cake RecipeOrigin: Britain Period: Traditional |
Ingredients
400g mixed dried fruit 
Easter Fruit Cake Preparation:Method:Place the fruit, spice, sugar, milk and bicarbonate of soda into a large pan. Bring to the boil then simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool to blood-heat then sift the flower and salt and stir into this mixture along with the eggs. Turn into a greased double-lined 20cm cake tin. Smooth the surface and hollow out centre slightly. Place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake the cake 45 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 150°C and cook for about a further 50 minutes. To see if the cake is cooked a skewer pushed into the middle should come out clean. Cool the cake in its tin then transfer to a wire rack and remove the greaseproof paper. Spread the top of cake with the jam. Then using a little icing sifted icing sugar, lightly knead the prepared icing before rolling out to fit just inside cake top. Trim the icing 5mm from the edge to allow for pink marzipan. Cut the marzipan into three equal pieces. Colour first piece pink and knead thoroughly. Measure the circumference of the cake with string then roll the pink marzipan by hand to the same length. Lift on to the cake, pressing neatly to the white icing edge then trim the ends and join. Colour the second piece green and roll out to the same length. Roll out third the piece likewise and twist them together. Lay the twists around cake, just inside the pink roll then trim the ends and join. Tie a ribbon or fix a cake band around cake. Find more Easter Recipes Here |
