Christmas Fruit Cake/ Non Alcoholic Fruit Cake / Kerala Plum
Cake /Kerala Fruit Cake
Holiday season is here 🎄🎅, you all must be very busy. Yes like
you all I was very busy decorating our sweet home with a lovely Christmas Tree 🎄🎊,
lights, snowman and baubles. Grabbed some time to bake a super soft and super
tasty non alcoholic Christmas cake. We had a small get together at home last week
and I served this cake to my dear friends 😍.They all enjoyed and asked me to
post the recipe ASAP. Dear friends, here is the recipe. Christmas 🎅 is incomplete without a fruit cake 🍰.
Back home in Kerala (India) we have our own plum cake. During Christmas time
almost all the bakeries will be loaded with plum cakes that too Elite Plum Cake 😋. My dad always gets me a pack of
this Elite Plum Cake every year me 😍. Wish I
could give him a slice of this plum cake that was baked by me 😞. For the past few
years I was longing to bake this but I backed off as I thought it won’t turn
out perfect without alcohol 😕. I was in no mood to add alcohol 😏. Finally I
got a recipe from all recipe where they have used orange juice 😊. To give it a
personal touch I replaced orange juice with grape juice and personalized the
recipe here and there 😉. I have added as much dry fruits as possible. Raisins,
plums and dates gives it a rich flavor 😋. Dry fruits are soaked in freshly made
grape juice and I refrigerated this for two and a half days 😉. It’s better to use
fresh grape juice as store brought might contain preservatives and other
chemicals. Spices gives the cake extra punch that tempts us to eat it again and
again 😋😋😋. Since there is no alcohol it doesn’t have much shelf life 😐. You can wrap them
in aluminum foil and store it in an air tight box. It will be good for another
5-6 days but it won’t last that long 👌. The cake will be over by that time. Yes,
believe me this is a super yummy cake 😃. Okay then let’s get started…..
