Wow!Vegetarian Recipes





I was walking around in the supermarket. Suddenly something caught my eyes… fruitcake packed nicely. Just then I realised it had been 5 years since I baked an eggless fruitcake. My friends used to love the fruitcake I bake. I decided that I must share this recipe as this week’s recipe. I purchased all the required ingredients for the cake and drove back.

Generally, fruitcake is a mixture of fruits with just enough batter to hold them together. Most of the fruitcakes are baked using the brandy or liquor. In my recipe, I replaced it with orange juice. The mixed fruits soaked in orange juice overnight or for few days is the secret to the taste of this cake. Scroll down for the full ingredients & method.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups flour
• 2 oranges ( squeezed for the juice )
• 200gms mixed fruits
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tbsp soda bicarbonate
• 2 tbsp vanilla essence

Method

1. In a bowl, soak the mixed fruit in the orange juice overnight. 
2. Melt the frozen butter and brown sugar over low heat.
3. Remove from heat once the butter has melted. Allow it to cool before adding half of the evaporated milk.
4. Keep mixing with spatula while adding one cup of flour. 
5. Add the remaining ingredients while slowly stiring the batter as you add the ingredients little at a time.
6. When all the ingredients are well blended, pour it into a baking pan lightly coated with oil on the bottom and sides.
7. Bake at 180° for about 40 - 45 mins. ( To ensure the cake is cooked, test the with a toothpick or cake tester. If the tester comes out of the center of the cake clean, the cake is done)
