Instant Christmas Fruit Cake | Last Minute Plum Cake | No Soaking, No Alcohol | ക്രിസ്തുമസ് കേക്ക് |

Want to make a Plum cake instantly, still without compromising the flavours & aromas of a Christmas fruit cake. It is so easy that you can even mix all the ingredients in a food processor and just mix in the dried fruits by hand. It is also called an Everyday fruit cake because it's tasty, quick and easy. You don't have to wait for Christmas to make this as this can be a perfect snack cake/tea cake too. INGREDIENTS Unsalted butter - 125 gm, room temperature Light /dark brown sugar - 125 gms ( 1 cup , loosely packed) Eggs - 3 large, room temperature Milk - 60 ml , 4 Tbsp Jam (any Flavor) - 1 heaped Tbsp. ( can substitute with honey, orange marmalade) All purpose flour - 250 gm (2 cups + 2 tbsp) Mixed spice powder - 2 tsp ( (I used 1 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp cardamom powder, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.You can also add 1/4 tsp ground ginger if you like.) Vanilla essence - 1/4 - 1/2 tsp , optional Dried fruits - 400 gms ( I used 150 gms black seedless raisins, 100 gms tutti frutti, 25 gms candied cherries, 100 gms chopped dates,25 gms chopped cashews) METHOD Prepare a loaf pan by applying butter and lining with parchment paper. Mix together the butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla essence , jam. Use a wooden spoon or whisk to mix the ingredients. It's ok if the butter is not fully incorporated. Add in the all purpose flour, baking powder, mixed spice powder followed by dried fruits. Transfer the batter into the baking pan and level. Make a slight depression in the center using a spatula so that the cake doesn't dome up too much. Bake in a 170°C(325°F) preheated oven for approx. 1 hr 15 mins or more.It take upto 1 hr 45 mins . The time will vary according to the size of the pan. A skewer inserted in the center of the cake will come out clean when done. Cool in the pan for 10 mins, then remove from the pan and cool completely before slicing. NOTE You can also do all the mixing (liquid and dry) in a food processor or using a beater but make sure to mix in the dried fruits by hand. Other options for dry fruits are prunes, golden raisins,any nuts, dried pineapple,candied orange peel etc. I have used light brown sugar because i prefer that. You can also use dark brown sugar,but it may give a strong taste. LET'S SOCIALIZE!
