Fruit Cake made their appearance during festive celebrations such as Christmas, Hari Raya and even Chinese New Year. There are few types of fruit cake either steamed or baked and the dry fruit used varies in quantity, some soaked in brandy/orange juice or without soaking - the fruit is coated with flour before adding to the butter mixture.
I always love Fruit Cake that uses less dry fruit in the recipe. This Light Fruit Cake require you to soak the dry fruit in orange juice or brandy overnight. Next day you can proceed to bake the cake.
It took more than an hour to bake mine. In case the top of this Light Fruit Cake becoming too brown, cover with aluminium foil crimped around the edges of your baking pan.
On the occasion of this lovely festival of Eid, wishing you Eid Mubarak, may the blessings of Allah be with you always!
