Plum Cake | No Soak Christmas Fruit Cake | Christmas Specials

- A plum cake is good for all occasions, but perfect for Christmas! It is simple and the recipe might strike you as a bit different from traditional fruit cake recipes, because it is :) Developed by my daughter, this cake includes dark chocolate and wine which come together to create a flavour so divine and a cake so moist, it is indeed a Christmas Special!
This recipe was requested by many of my subscribers/viewers, so thank you all!
The inclusion of other dried fruits is up to you; I recommend roasting nuts rather than soaking them in wine as they impart a slight bitterness to the wine (which is why I don't add walnuts to the wine). The raisins need to be softened, so prepare a solution of warm water and sugar (about 2 tablespoons) and let the raisins remain completely immersed in that for 20 minutes.
For weight conversions you may refer to this:
www.kingarthur...
100 grams of Dark Chocolate, chopped
100 grams of Prunes, chopped
50 grams of Raisins (seedless; that have been soaked in a warm solution of water and sugar for 20 minutes)
120 ml or 1/2 cup of Port Wine (or any sweet wine)
Heat the wine add the fruits and chocolate, mix and set aside till needed. The period of time till its addition into the batter is sufficient to soak.
40 grams of Walnuts, chopped (not to added to the wine)
...
Grind the following spices:
1 inch of dried Ginger
1/4 piece of Nutmeg
2 inches of Cinnamon
20 ml Oil
30 grams (or 4 tablespoons) of Cocoa Powder
(make a paste of this with the ground spices)
...
3 whole Eggs
100 grams or 1/2 cup of Sugar
100 grams or 1/4th cup + 3 tbsp of Salted butter (melted)
120 grams or 1 cup of All-purpose flour
1&1/2 teaspoon of Baking powder
The spices strengthen the flavour of the wine. Their quantities can be adjusted and tweaked to your liking.
Preheat the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 45-50 minutes, or till an inserted skewer comes out clean.
*Once baked, allow the cake to remain in the oven’s heat for 15 minutes, then open the oven door and let it cool gradually. This prevents excess shrinkage/contraction of the cake.
This cake tastes best when allowed to rest.
**When properly cooled, wrap in parchment and cover with a piece of cloth and let it rest overnight (basically, 10 hours or more); this locks up the moisture, allowing the flavour and texture to develop even further. After unmoulding, keep the baking parchment attached to the bottom, it acts as a seal to retain moisture (I took it off my cake for the purpose of the video). It can remain at room temperature for a week to 10 days or more if properly kept in a cool, dark and dry place; to ensure it doesn’t dry/spoil, keep it wrapped in parchment and cloth, allowing it to breathe occasionally.
Further, it can be refrigerated for weeks - just enclose it in two layers of parchment and then double layer of cling wrap after it has cooled completely.

Made this cake yesterday. Tasted lovely. Thanks
WHY ARE YOUR RECIPES SO AESTHETIC.... ITS.... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜......... LOTS OF LOVE FRIEND ❤️
I'm a little confused as I love plum cake and every Christmas I bake some but that in which fruits r soaked in rum for some weeks and only today I soaked the fruits well I'm late this year as my hubby didn't bring the rum before, maybe I'll bake it on the 23rd. Your video fruit cake with rum is ok for me but I wasn't aware of mixing chocolate with it I've learnt the recipe from my Dad. So this year I'm going to add the spice, cocoa and oil if not others. Thanks Florence and wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year too

Looks delicious. So well explained...I'm sure u are a very sweet person .can u share recipe of the one they serve for wedding....the rich oily plum cake .thanks for the lovely recipe ❤
Hello, Richa :)
So kind of you to think so well of me💫
About your request- my daughter has developed this recipe keeping that and also plum cake flavour in mind. This is not exactly what you've asked for, but very close.
All your recipes are superb. Only problem is that if I try all of them I will need a whole new wardrobe😉😄😄
Wonderful recipe. Do you have a recipe with soaking? I want to try one
I want to try this recipe, can i add half brown half white sugar?
Thank-you for the recipe,will definitely try out this Christmas.
but just tell me why has the cake on top cracked so much...?
If we don't want to use wine what can be used as replacement?
Hi Florency, is dark chocolate, the unsweetened bar or is it the semisweet bar. Also, is it 1 cup wine or 1/2 cup. I tried with 1/2 cup wine and the batter consistency was thicker than what is seen in the video, thanks.
Love Ur music❤️. Thanks.merry Christmas
Baked ur fruit cake was awsum perfect super delicious
Looks yummy... and the way you have explained seems easy to make.... I will surely try it out and let you know...
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
God bless you.
Thank you, Rashmi :)

Thank you for your greetings and I extend my warm wishes for a wonderful and joyous Christmas to you and your family as well🎄💫 God bless you ✨
Can replace alcohol with something else, as we do not consume alcohol. Please suggest. Would apple juice do the same.

Hello, I tried this recipe and it was amazing! It's there a way I can substitute the eggs in the recipe?
If we want to cover this cake with marzipan, should we reduce the sugar quantity in the cake or marzipan ??
I attempted this recipe today and it turned out to be good, although i used baking soda instead of baking powder. My best wishes to you and keep up the good work with new recipes
Thank you for this appreciative feedback, Edward :) I'm glad to know that you gave this recipe a try, and after having read this, I tried baking soda too - I must agree the result was a softer sponge - so thanks, I had the opportunity of learning from you! Thanks💫
Merry Christmas to you and your family, God bless ✨
How much baking soda did you add?
How much baking soda? Should we only use soda and no baking powder?
@@NayiSrishti please use both, that will enhance the quality of the cake. After using both in my next attempts the cake became superb...

Dear, ❤️❤️ How many days we can store this cake in outside. Please reply. 💕💕💕
Can I substitute chocolate bar with cocoa powder.if yes can you tell me the amount.
Lovely 👌🏻
Thanks 💫
Is this the same that you get for weddings?
I don't remember it having nuts, so could same recipe be used but omit nuts?
My grandpa used to pack me a cake from a local Baker every time I visited him, I loved the taste but I didn't know what it was called... But I guess it must be a plum cake, cz it had lots of tuti frooti. Please help me figure what I ate in those golden days. Many thanks and God bless
