Hi everyone
I like to bake fruitcake but each time it comes out to be dry and when I cut it, it crumbles
I have tried using some fruit jam and fruit juice in the recipe but that does not help much.
My recipe involves
1.0 kg mixed dried fruits and 100 gm chopped almond
1 cup brandy (sometimes I use rum
1 TBL hone
150 gm fruit ja
125 gm brown suga
1/2 Tbl treacl
2 tsp vanilla essenc
1.5 tsp mixed spic
The above items are mixed and kept for 2 weeks before bakin
250 gm butte
5 egg white (beaten sperately and added onto mixture after flour
5 egg yolk
175 gm plain flou
75 gm self raising flou
Bake 1 hour at 150C (300F) and 2 hours at 140C(285F
Pour 2 TBl brandy after removed from ove
Cover with aluminium foil to coo
Can anyone tell me what is missing in the recipe and how can I solve the dry factor
Thank
yuesang
