The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without indulging in a delectable Christmas cake. It’s a tradition cherished by families worldwide, with not a household missing out on the delightful aroma of plum cake wafting from the kitchen. Whether baked from scratch, purchased from a bakery, or gifted from a loved one, the Christmas cake holds a special place in our celebrations.
This year, I resolved to bake my own Christmas cake. However, my search for a suitable recipe proved challenging. Everywhere I looked, I found complex rum cake recipes or ones requiring intricate steps. I wondered, how could I make a rich Christmas cake recipe that’s also kid-friendly?
Fortunately, a lifeline appeared in the form of a recipe shared by a friend on the renowned Slurrp Farm website, a leading children’s food brand in India. Their recipe promised not only deliciousness but also simplicity, making it perfect for involving kids in the baking process. What better way to bond and create lasting memories than by inviting your children to join in the fun of making a Christmas fruit cake?
So, this holiday season, gather your little ones and embark on a culinary adventure together. Let the joyous spirit of Christmas infuse your kitchen as you whip up a scrumptious, kid-friendly Christmas cake that’s sure to delight young and old alike.
Christmas is never complete without a delicious, scrumptious Christmas cake. There wouldn’t be a single-family out there without the plum cake in the kitchen. We either bake it, buy it or gift it but we never skip it. This Christmas, I decided to bake it but alas! Wherever I looked, I could see rum cake recipes or recipes that looked complicated and messy. How to make a rich Christmas cake recipe kid-friendly?
Christmas cake recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Slurrp Farm Vanilla Cake Mix
- 30 ml Butter
- 50 ml Yogurt
- 60 ml Warm water
- ½ cup Mixed dry fruits
- ½ cup Cashew nuts (Chopped)
- ¼ cup Black raisins
- ½ tsp Cinnamon powder
- ¼ tsp Clove powder
- A pinch of Salt
Instructions
- The recipe is divided into three parts: Caramelising the sugar, batter preparation, and baking. Caramelising the sugar is the first part. It is a key step as it gives the cake a special flavor that makes plum cakes stand out. Make sure you caramelize it at low heat, to avoid burning the sugar The second step is making the batter. Batter preparation was made easy and mess-free by the Slurrp Farm cake mix that I used. Use your favorite dry fruits to make them taste the way you like. You can use cherries, plum, dates, and even orange peels. The third step, baking, is a trial and error method. The duration of baking and temperature depends on the oven you use. The temperature mentioned in our post is suitable for microwave or conventional oven.
Unrefined sugar syrup
- Open the entire sachet of unrefined sugar and caramelize it at low heat. Take it off the heat and pour 1/4 cup water so that the sugar hardens. Heat the mixture again so that the crystals dissolve completely. Set aside for cooling. Preheat the oven at 160 degree celcius
Cake batter
- Mix sachet 2 of Slurrp Farm cake mix in yogurt, butter, and water. Blend everything with an electric beater or whisk thoroughly. Add caramelized unrefined sugar, dry fruits, and nuts along with the spices and salt.
Baking
- Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake it in the preheated oven (at 160degree C) for 30 minutes. Make sure the cake is dark brown and a skewer/toothpick if inserted comes out with crumbs. Once the cake is baked properly, let it cool and dust with icing sugar.
