The inside was quite crumbly and perfect. Will this cake become moist the next day? IS so I would like to bake it a day in advance for my party.
Hi Nags, thank you for sharing this recipe, looks delicious. And another question, I have sugar cane molasses, could i use that instead of making the syrup just to save some time? If so, how many tbsp should I use? I am not sure molasses are a direct substitute. Thank you! Although I have one problem. No matter how much i dredge my dry fruits in flour they still sink to the bottom. Please help? This is the first time I did the cake on my own!
Your recipe with the pictures helped me a lot! My husband liked this! I am definitely not waiting till Christmas to try this. The cake looks so wonderful and delicious! Hey super yummy cake!!! Please share home made chocolate Recipe.
I was searching for a plum cake recipie to make this Christmas and stumbled upon yours , your recipie was simple and detailed with all the steps , made around 5 cakes and my friends were very impressed , thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Nags. Easily the best recipe. Instead added chopped dates, figs, prunes and orange peel from a fresh orange. They worked great. If so, how much? Would it work the same way?
Hey, have you tried this recipe by soaking the dry fruits in rum? If yes, could you share the modifications you made? Hi … Yesterday I made plum cake according to your recipe. Hi Nags.. Will that make difference. Hi dear I am planning to do your recipe this weekend f as I found it absolutely wonderful and easy. I have only one question..
Looking forward to receiving your reply Thanks Tina. Hi, I made this cake today. It was yummy. Is this the reason I got moist cake? Kindly help me to fix it. Thanks so much for the quick and easy recipe for a plum cake that looks like it took hours to prepare and tastes exactly like the ones you get back home!
I made it in a bundt pan and it was a little tough to unmould but like you said I will butter up the cake pan more next time. This is a keeper! Thanks Nag love your site. Absolutely fantastic recipe! I made this cake last week following the recipe exactly except with the addition of one mashed banana. Turned out absolutely amazing — the caramel tastes so rich and it seems to get better with time! The mashed banana made it moist without changing the taste of the cake.
Thank you for this keeper of a recipe…I think it is better than most store-bought plum cakes! Adding banana is a great idea! So, I made this plum cake. I did send you SOS signals regarding the caramel becoming hard… but I just trusted my instincts, warmed it up a little and it melted!! The cake turned out awesome. It had a crusty top which I loved and the inside was soft and sweet.
The fruits however sunk to the bottom. Thanks for the recipe. It helped me get out of my comfort zone and try the much eluding plum cake! Hi , made this today. It tasted yum. If I do will it raise?
I m amateur in baking. You could always try this! Now wrap this around the cake. What happens is that the outside cooks faster than the inside because the inside is insulated so the outside gets overcooked. I tried this yesterday, and it was yum! I was wondering about the measurements though.
When I weighed 1 cup ml of flour, it was only some something mg. So I used the weighted measures for all the other ingredients, which resulted in a much bigger cake. Hi Nags I have tried this recipe times already and it has come out well every time.. Only problem is the fruits were settled down inspire of dredging them in the flour..
Any suggestions? I used half the measurement of sugar since the given measurement will make cake super sweet.. I made cake with 3 cups of flour. Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas! I tried making the sugar syrup yesterday. But when I let it cool it turned rock solid. Did I boil it too long? Can I add some water and try boiling it again? Please help! The cake was very sweet. I have mentioned in a couple of places that this recipe does make a sweet fruit cake and you should adjust to your taste.
If possible plz cud u Let me know the measurement in grams of flour, butter and sugar. Can that be right? Hi dear Wud like to. Just use whatever cups you have, as long as you are using the same set for all ingredients, it should work out fine. The eggs in Singapore are similar in size to US.
For reference, should be around 55gm each. Nice recipe of Kerala Plum Cake. This Christmas, we will have a try.. Nicely wrote and detailed images are too good.
Incidentally I had a plum cake this morning and then I stumbled upon this. This is so christmas, This is so memories. Hey Nags, love your recipes. Thanks much. I made some changes… I doubled your recipe, and they fit perfectly in 6 mini loaf pans, and I baked it for 40 mins.
I am so excited! Can I use the electric blender after adding the flour as well? Or do I just fold it in? Since I have to add 3 eggs alternating with flour I got confused if I can use the electric blender or not.
Also, I have soaked the fruits in some home-made wine, just to add a little flavour. Can I use them just like you have mentioned? Hi Priya, you can use the electric blender after adding flour and eggs and beat briefly after each addition. Just be careful not to overbeat once the flour starts getting added, otherwise the cake will turn a bit rubbery.
You can definitely add presoaked fruits too, just be aware the batter will be more moist and may need to be baked a tad longer. Start checking from the 45 minute mark. Been making this cake for over 3 years now and love it. I was originally worried about making the syrup but now feel like a pro.. I usually skip the nuts but think I should now add after seeing your last picture..
Am I able to leave this cake out in room temperature for a few days or must it be refrigerated? Could i put aluminium foil on the top part of the pan after 45 mins to avoid the top from burning? Yes you can try this eggless plum cake recipe. I have been baking this cake from last 3years regularly ,thanks for this awesome recipe. I did the non alcoholic version with orange juice and it turned out awesome.
Even my mom loved it. I was anxious about making caramel and did burn it once. Lovely, I tried this today. Except for the raisins again settled at the bottom. Thanks for this alcohol free recipe!! This was the first time I tried baking a cake. It was a super-duper hit!
Followed the detailed instructions to the tee. Hats off to your Amma who remembered this recipe. Is it okay if I add some rum to the caramel instead of water? If the rum might evaporate, can I make it part water and part rum, and lower the temperature for the sugar to melt? Hi Raveena, you can just add some rum or brandy to the mixed fruits and then add it to the batter or even to the batter directly. Hope that helps. Thank u so much for this recipe.
I was looking for the perfect fruit cake recipe and this was it. Many thanks to you and Omana Paul for it. The cake was such a hit that it was oer on Christmas day itself and i have promised to bake it one more time for the new year before school starts. The only thing i added differently were the dry fruits which i had already soaked in rum …….
Thanks once again for this recipe. Hello Nags, The cake looks really yummy n I desperately want to try it. Have a small confusion though, in an earlier comment u mentioned ur cup measure to approximately gms, where as if u r using a ml cup, the flour measure will be about gms. Could u please tell me the cup measure that u use in all ur baking recipes. Prathibha, my cup weights out grams of sugar and approximately the amount of flour and ml of water.
These are the only ingredients I have tried to test out because every ingredient that you measure out 1 cup of will differ in weight because of volume differences. This is the reason why I choose to measure in cups while baking.
I am not sure how ml cup will measure out only gm flour. That doesn't sound right to me, I would assume ml is approximately same as grams. Actually I too use a ml cup for measuring n sometimes a scale too. As far as I've seen, if I measure out 1 cup of flour, it's about gms or a lil more.
Anyway, I'll try it ur way. U've used a ml cup to measure the flour n all the other ingredients right? I baked this cake yesterday for my mother and she was soooooo impressed. It was just perfect! And the best cake we have ever baked at home. Thank you so much. Hi Nagalakshmi, Thank you so much for this superb recipe, I was having guests over for Christmas and wanted to bake a fruit cake myself so i looked up the internet and found yours the most simple one.
I made the cake and I must tell you it turned out too good, all my guests were really impressed by it. Thanks for this wonderful recipe. I tried it two days back and it turned out very delicious.. It was easy to prepare thanks for the clear steps mentioned. I tried this for xmas , it came out really well — Yummmm!! I ll be making another batch next week :.
I tried this cake for xmas It came out really well — Yummm!! I ll be making another batch soon. Hello, thanks for the wonderful recipe, I tried it 2 days back and it came out excellent in taste, although the raisins sank to the bottom. I'm planning to bake it again soon. Could you tell me the cup measurement that is used here. I used gm as my measurement for one cup.
Since the number of eggs is fixed, which is 3,I'm assuming the cup has to be fixed in weight as well. I tried it, It turned out really well and tasty.
The recipe was not that hard and the best part is alchohol free. The only issue I had was, even though i soaked the dried fruits and nuts in flour for about mts, they sank to the bottom.
There are two things we can do to prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the cake. Lightly roast the fruits in very little ghee for a few mins, cool, and then proceed 2. Dredge the fruits in some flour so that the fruits are well coated. Then add to the batter. Hi nags, This being the Xmas season, I wanted to gift my in laws with a rich plum cake.
So while googling for a good recipe, I found yours and found it interesting. But I am very disappointed like a couple of your readers. It is a light crumbly cake with currants, raisins, cherries and Scotch whisky. Other types of Christmas cakes include an apple creme cake and a mincemeat cake. The apple creme cake is made with apples, other fruit, raisins, eggs, cream cheese and whipping cream.
The mincemeat cake is made with traditional mincemeat or vegetarian mincemeat, flour, eggs, etc. It can also be steamed as a Christmas pudding. All Christmas cakes are made in advance. Many make them in November, keeping the cake upside down in an airtight container. A small amount of brandy, sherry or whisky is poured into holes in the cake every week until Christmas. This process is called "feeding" the cake. In Japan Christmas cake is a frosted sponge cake with strawberries, chocolates or seasonal fruit.
It was an expression that to call women over the age of 25 "Christmas cake," meaning that they are out of season, as the cake is after December 25th.
Now the age is raised to 31, linked to toshikoshi-soba, a noodle dish eaten on December 31st.
