| Tropical mini-fruitcakes |
|
This makes a very pretty cake that looks so Christmassy! Cut in very thin slices. Here's what you will need:
3 cups brazil nut kernels (about 375gm) 12 pitted dates 1 cup glace tropical fruit mix, roughly chopped (or glace cherries) 3/4 cup self raising flour pinch salt 1/2 cup castor sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Preheat oven to 150C.
Place the nuts, dates, glace fruit, flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl and mix together. Beat the eggs and vanilla together until well mixed then pour over the nuts and flour, and mix together well.
Line a loaf tin (or four or five small tins) with baking paper and spoon in the mixture.
Scrape out all the batter with a spatula and make sure the mixture is evenly distributed. If you wish, put a few extra dates and nuts and cherries on top to decorate.
Bake loaves for 1 3/4 hours (or about 45 minutes for smaller loaves). Test with a skewer. If it can be pulled out without any cake mixture sticking to it, the cake is cooked.
Place the baked cakes, still in their tins on a rack and allow to cool. When cool, turn out and peel off paper. Serve thinly-sliced to look like a pretty stained-glass window.
Time to deliver these you your friends!
++++ Alternatively, substitute: o 3 cups macadamia nuts instead of brazil nuts o 1/2 cup chopped crystalised ginger and 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks instead of dates o 1 cup tropical fruit mix (including flaked coconut) instead of the glace fruit. (optional) you may want to reduce the sugar. Prepare as above. |
