It is also called as Christmas Fruit Cake or Plum Cake in Kerala. I have also shared my recipe for American Christmas Fruit Cake here. Apple juice – 1/4 cup (Traditionally rum or brandy is used.
Preheat the oven @ 180 C for 10-15 mins, before baking. Drain the soaked fruits & keep aside. Retain 4 tbsp from the drained liquor. Toss the drained fruits in 1-2 tbsp of flour. (This will prevent the fruits from sinking to the bottom of the cake). Sift the plain flour with baking powder & baking soda. Powder the sugar & keep aside.
This kerala plum cake-christmas fruit cake is prepared by chopping all the dry fruits and soaking it in alcohol ( rum/brandy/wine). It is usually made well before Christmas, almost a month in advance, and the cake is stored in an airtight container.
You can use 2 to 2 ½ cups of soaked fruits and nuts while baking a cake. For soaking instructions and other tips, refer the notes section below. Add the sugar and 1 tbsp water into a pan and heat on a medium flame. As the sugar melts, turns golden in color, and bubbles, lower the flame and give it a quick stir.
