Yup, time to start planning for fruitcake baking spree. I’m not sure if I am really up to it this year, given my health issues lately, but it’s a traditional I intend to continue, probably a lot less ambitious.
For starters, it’ll be mini cake versions instead of that 2kg block I give away (with at least $50 worth of brandy soaked in it). It’s easier to make, faster (much less baking time required) and probably easier to decorate. Besides, how much of a fruitcake can you gobble at one go (my hubby is an exeption)?
I’ll stick to my usual recipe - easy, just damn heavy. Why? The amount of dried fruits is barely held together by the cake mixture, and the dried fruits is furthered leaden down with alcohol (they need to be soaked at least 24 to 48 hours before baking). So I guess, *hehehe* it’s time to shop for baking pans *woohooo* and ingredients soon. Too bad for my hubby, he’ll be missing the brandy for his nightly fix of alcoholic coffee soon!
