Steps to make Rum and fruits Christmas Cake:
- Chop the fruits and nuts into small pieces and soak in rum for at least 15 days (mine was in for 2.5 months. also have used more quantity than 1/2 cup of nuts. Makes yours to your taste)
- Caramelize the sugar. Add the water and leave to cool
- Separate egg yolk and white and beat the white to form soft peaks and set aside. (not stiff peaks, from my experience the cakes rises with a hollow cavity on the top since the fruits in the cake make the batter heavier when beaten to stiff)
- Combine the yolks, essence and oil
- Add half the qty of flour and combine.
- Add the caramelized sugar and combine well. Add the remaining flour and combine
- Strain the fruits and reserve the rum
- Toss the fruits in 1/4 cup of maida so that the fruits have a thing coating on it. This prevents the fruits from sinking
- Add one or two tbsp of rum from the reserved rum to the cake batter with baking powder and mix.
- Now fold in the fruits with the cake batter. Once done fold in the egg-whits to this batter
- Prepare a greased, dusted and lined cake pan. Pour the batter into the cake pan (this makes a 7 to 9 inch cake). Set this into a dry pressure cooker on top of a small stand so that the base of the pan is not in contact with the base of the pressure cooker. Close without the whistle
- Bake on high flame for first 2 min, medium for next 5 min and on low for around 30-35 min. Cake is done When a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean
- Leave the cake to cool and drizzle the remaining rum on top of it
