Fruitcake

Fruitcake is one of those cakes which appears only during the Christmas season. There are people who love fruitcakes and there are people who hate them. The traditional fruit cake was dark since it was made with molasses and aged with the use of rum or brandy to preserve it. I personally love fruitcake because of the aroma of the molasses specially when it comes out of the oven. For fruitcake lovers, fruitcake must be aged to be able to appreciate it's full flavor. There are now fruitcakes without molasses which are called White Fruitcake or Tutti Fruti Cake. These cakes do not contain molasses but may or may not contain alcohol. They are typically just pound cakes or butter cakes with glaced fruits and nuts. This is a good alternative for those who do not like the flavor of molasses.
For fruitcake lovers out there, this is the right time to make your fruitcake and ready to serve them to your family on Christmas Day!
Happy Holidays!

I am going to try this. I tried your fudge brownies recipe with crackling top. Taste was so good. Only one thing i didn't achieve the crackling top. Question po what is the preferred type of heating when baking goods? Is it bottom heating only or top and bottom heating. Thanks. I hope I will be successful on this one. Good day po.☺️

If i make it in advance chef, say 1 to 2 mos, will storing it in the aluminum pan have an aftertaste/effect on the fruitcake? Or should I use cling wrap?

[loislow]

Hi chef, can I replace molasses with black treacle?Also I want to soak the fruits/nuts for 1 month. Do I need to put in the fridge when I soak it and top up liquor every week? Thank you very much

Thank you Chef sa Fruit Cake recipe mo. Dito sa Canada ang dami fruit cakes pero ang hinahanap ng panlasa ko ay yung Filipino traditional fruit cake na lasa. Ask ko lang Chef Rose, pwede ko ba i substitute ang maple syrup instead of molasses? Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

[vanyav]
