Ultimate Fruit Cake Recipe

[Supine]

Come on then urbz, hit me up with some ultimate recipe action. I used to make a wicked fruit cake from an ex 's mum's family recipe.

I've lost it though and fancy making some baking.

I did think, but my ultimate fruit cake recipe is for a Christmas cake which didn't seem appropriate.

The last fruit cake I made, the fruit all sank to the bottom.

The moral of this story is not to ignore Mary Berry's instructions to wash the glace cherries first.

I made a dark chocolate fruit cake a while ago which was fucking lush. It may have been this recipe but I can't remember for sure. I know it had brandy in it.

On a more positive note, I can recommend her apple and cinnamon cake. It has a layer of grated apple and cinnamon in the middle which makes it a bit special. Well, special enough to make it into the 'baking for bazaars' section of the book anyway.

I use this one. I vary the combination of dried fruit every time, just stick to the 750g weight. I make it boozier than the recipe stipulates. Has never failed me.

I've got a version of Nigella's recipe in the oven. Fingers crossed I cook it properly!

I use Delia's rich fruit cake recipe - basically an xmas cake, but works for all occasions. It is dead easy to prepare, and it works every time.

This is the one I use - this is a printable page so you'll probably get a print dialogue box pop up.
