Servings:10
Although it’s rich in history and holds a permanent spot in many family recipe boxes, fruitcake is a much-maligned confection in the United States. That’s unfortunate, because this classic rich, dark cake made with liquor-soaked fruit is so delectable you’ll be loath to give it away.
在一个中等大小的碗中,用肉桂,五香粉,豆蔻,肉豆蔻和丁香搅拌面粉。在装有桨叶附件(或在带电动手动搅拌机的大碗中)安装的立式搅拌机中,以中高速搅拌黄油和两种糖根据需要刮擦碗。每次添加碗,一次刮擦一个鸡蛋,每次添加后混合30至60秒。跳入香草和盐。加2汤匙。面粉混合物到碗中,短暂跳动。储备2汤匙。面粉混合物,然后将其余的添加到面糊中;低速打击10秒钟,将面粉加入,然后在中高1分钟。
将结晶的生姜与排水的水果结合在一起。将面糊刮入碗的中心。将腌制的水果放在面糊的顶部,然后将保留的面粉均匀地撒在水果上。使用橡胶铲,将水果折叠到面糊中,直到均匀分布为止。将面糊刮入准备好的锅中,将其按下以消除空气口袋并使顶部平滑以使其水平。烘烤15分钟,然后将温度降低至300°F,然后烘烤,直到蛋糕的中心略微上升,中间插入的蛋糕测试仪会干净或几个潮湿的碎屑,约1-1/2小时。
Remove the cake and let it cool in its pan on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the cake from the pan. Place it on the rack, peel down the parchment sides, and cool completely. When cool, brush the cake with 2 to 3 Tbs. of the reserved fruit-soaking liquid or fresh rum. Wrap tightly in plastic and then in foil; store the cake at room temperature for a minimum of 48 hours before serving.
If serving within a week of baking, you do not need to baste the cake again. For longer storage, baste once a week with 1 to 2 tablespoons of rum and wrap in fresh plastic and foil. The cake will keep at room temperature for at least 3 weeks.
If you can find it, use muscovado sugar. Made from sugar cane juice, it has a smoky, spicy complexity, with notes of butterscotch.
Just awesome Christmas cake. I like to coat the loaf with fine powdered sugar or, if it’s round, then thin layer of hard sugar icing. Heavenly
The best!! Not the usual "door stop" -- delicious. I make it every year!
当我看到这个食谱时,我认为那会很好,而且比好好好,真是太棒了!我将食谱翻了一番,制作了四个迷你面包。我曾计划在圣诞节礼物时放弃一些,但我们非常喜欢它,以至于我认为我必须再批量赠送!
This cake is delicious, and yes, the waiting time does make it better! I've never liked fruitcake, so I was reluctant when my husband wanted to use our home-dried fruit. That was what gave it a lovely texture, so different from the rubber tire magic of candied citron. The muscovado sugar was a pleasant discovery for us. We'll double the batch next year, and we'll start in September. We might give some to very special people.
