NOTES
few tips for christmas fruit cake recipe:
1. if the top of the cake browns quickly, then cover the top with
butter paper or aluminium foil.
2. instead of soy milk you can use dairy milk or nut milk.
3. instead of oil you can use butter.
4. do add the candied peels as they really add some bitter notes
to the cake which is otherwise sweet and this is what makes the
christmas fruit cake different from a regular fruit cake.
5. the dry fruits mixture can be soaked in orange juice instead of
rum. you can also use a half half mixture of rum and wine if you
want.
6. if using orange juice than just soak for 1 day only and keep the
the bowl in the fridge. if kept outside even for 1 day in a warm
climate like that of india, the orange juice will get spoilt.
7. the fruit cake can also be completely made with whole wheat
flour or all purpose flour.
