  • JEMMA IS HERE!!! And it's time to make your Christmas Fruitcake! Yes, Christmas is still a way off but if you want a perfectly moist Christmas Fruitcake it's time to get baking so that you can spend a few weeks feeding it (with booze of course) to make it not just moist but to enhance all of those Christmassy flavours. But of course if you leave it late that's no problem either, you will still have a delicious Christmas Fruitcake.
    Our Christmas Fruitcake Kits have sold out for this year, but you can still browse a range of great Christmas Bake at Home gifts at cupcakejemma.com/collections/...
    We will be back nearer to Christmas to show you how to ice your Christmas Fruitcake as well as hw to make your own Marzipan. So stay tuned and in the meantime get baking and feeding!!
    ----------
    8" Christmas Fruitcake
    800g Dried Fruit (Sultanas, Currents, Raisins)
    100ml Booze (Brandy, Rum) OR Orange Juice
    225g Dark Brown Sugar
    225g Soft Unsalted Butter
    4 Eggs
    225g Plain Flour
    1/2 tsp Salt
    1/2 tsp Mixed Spice
    75g Mixed Peel
    75g Glace Cherries
    100g Nuts (Almonds, Hazelnuts)

    So nice to see you back Jemma!
    In the Caribbean we soak the dried fruits with rum for up to an entire year and puree them and takes only about an hour to bake.

      @ChristellePMcKay Před 3 lety +14

      I was looking for the Caribbean comment lol :) Trini girl here and I like to blend/puree half of the fruits and lightly chop the rest. Love a bit of texture in the cake. Your cake looks lovely... Time to soak my fruits!

    Thanks Jemma and Sally. I now have the confidence to make my first Christmas cake.
    Thank you so much ❤️

  • @ClaireWill71uk
    @ClaireWill71uk Před 3 lety +1

    What no wish, while mixing the cake mixture, as is traditional pre holiday baking?
    we as children had opportunity to make a wish (often about what Santa would bring).
    I did this with my own children and now they do same with their children today.
    Queen does the same, each year too.
    My kit arrived today, so excited... love the Bag... fruit is currently soaking w/ V.S.O.P brandy in my late nanny’s rum pot.
    She taught me how to bake, but crumbs and dollies Jemma have inspired me to be more active in household bakes etc.
    Thanks to All at Crumbs and Dollies.

    • @ClaireWill71uk
      @ClaireWill71uk Před 2 lety

      Stir up Sunday is looming up us once again, many wishes to be made x
      This years kit is slightly different as cherries are typical red store type glacé cherries… I substituted these with my organic dark glacé cherries similar to last season’s box.

    My parents were English and I grew up in America watching them make English fruitcakes. We made ours one whole year in advance and fed it through the summer, then made another near Christmas for the following year. Our fruitcakes were wrapped in cheesecloth (old school) and soaked in brandy. I can hardly wait for the marzipan and royal icing. My parents never made our fruitcakes that fancy.

Sally, you have been totally Awesome during Jemma's absence, and make me wish I were "across the pond" visiting Soho with each video. Jemma you've been sorely missed, and I'm so happy for you and your household with Little Eden. She's adorable. God Bless during London's 2nd Lockdown.

    So lovely to see you back Jemma!! And that Christmas cake is great - I've already done mine (last month) I make several for family and friends as well as myself. And I'll be making and decorating a "normal" cake, probably chocolate, but decorated up for Christmas, for my granddaughters who (shudder) don't like fruit cake! Have a great Christmas, hope you get out of lockdown soon.
