Pudding texture! That's what I grew up on. Yummy. This recipe is a keeper. I'm on a mission to make multiple recipes and see how they come out. Many thanks!
I prefer the pudding texture especially when it’s soaked well in the rum and wine.. lol.. making mine tonight!!! Thanks for the two ways to make them!! Yours looks really good!!
That looks soooo good!! I prefer the moist pudding taste......ive watched a ton a videos on how to make this cake....but yours is the best in explaining how to do the fruits!! Thanks so much! This will be my first time!
I prefer the pudding texture …. That’s my favorite with some sherry icing. I’m going to try to make this myself as I usually rely on friends to make this kind of pudding every year at Christmas.
Hi Jerene, thanks for much for your recipe. This is the texture I prefer. I wanted to know if there is a substitute for browning. I'm a Jcan living in Costa Rica and browning is not available here but I really want to try this❤
If I have the mixed spice how much do I use,and how much brown sugar if I don't have white sugar?..you're cake looks delicious and thank you for sharing it with us..
At LEAST 1 tsp however the flavour/concentration of different brands vary so if you're not squeamish about tasting batter...taste the batter and add more if you need to.
I am like you. Im happy as long as the flavour is correct but half cakey/half puddingy is ideal to me. Ive tasted so many cakes over the years as well and I know the correct but have never enjoyed baking. I L❤️VE this cake & I will be making my first tomorrow using stewed fruits since I did not soak ahead. I will prepare fruits for soaking for next year though. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄
My fruits have been soaking for almost two months. I have them in a glass jar covered with the wine and rum. Do I need to stir them every once in a while or is it ok that I left them undisturbed in a dark cool cupboard?
@@JerenesEats LOL Thank you so much I was busy writing down everything you have in the description I missed all of that!!! I will be making this soon! Thanks you again
Mixed Spice is usually added to Fruit/Christmas cake. I have no mixed spice at home so the spices I've used in this cake are those usually found in mixed spice. Coriander is one of those spices.
I don't measure at that point. But as you can see in the video at about 4:08 , I don't put too much because they won't be soaked for months, they're going into the blender. So pour enough to get your puree to the consistency similar to mine shown here 4:48
Hi, No Frills, Superstore and other supermarkets usually have the dried fruits. Yes you could use just wine but the flavour is definitely BETTER with rum added
@@harmonybridge2740 Perhaps you've looked at the ingredients only. They are very similar. Have a look at the video and check out the differences in the methods.
Maybe...too much fruits or too much liquid or excess mixing or raised then sunken because of constantly checking oven. There are so many things that could cause it love. I'm hoping this time it works out for you if you try my "cakey" recipe. ua-cam.com/video/F2dlFhpiNpc/v-deo.html
If you WATCH THE VIDEO you will notice that I did not add cilantro herb I added coriander POWDER. Also...the popularly used MIXED SPICE that is usually added to Fruit cake sometimes contains Coriander powder depending on the brand or the region in which you live.
@@anntonettechickorie9725 if you were to purchase a British brand of mixed spice you may see coriander listed as an ingredient. The same way allpurpose seasonings ingredients vary from brand to brand. An allpurpose seasoning in Jamaica might differ from one in North America or India.

Hi dear! You may do your own burnt sugar in a pot and add water. I don't have a video for this, but good news is...there are many recipes online.
Here's one I found www.cupofzest.com/make-burnt-sugar-syrup/
@@JerenesEats thanks so much! I'm gonna try it💚
I prefer the pudding but gimmie the cake mi wi eat it same way
If I have the mixed spice how much do I use,and how much brown sugar if I don't have white sugar?..you're cake looks delicious and thank you for sharing it with us..
At LEAST 1 tsp however the flavour/concentration of different brands vary so if you're not squeamish about tasting batter...taste the batter and add more if you need to.

Merry Christmas love! Enjoy
My fruits have been soaking for almost two months. I have them in a glass jar covered with the wine and rum. Do I need to stir them every once in a while or is it ok that I left them undisturbed in a dark cool cupboard?
Cakey!
Hey I love your tutorial. I'm going to use this to make my first fruit cake. Is there a change I could get the measurements?
Check out the description box of the video. It can be found below the video
@@JerenesEats thank you!
And I definitely love pudding flavor lol 😆
Can I use breadcrumbs in this mixture to get the pudding consistency?
Prefer to stew my fruits with some wine my take wine gives a better flavour
What was the oven temperature and how long did it bake for please
CLICK HERE LUV ➡️10:02
Please check out all the deets in the description as well for additional info to help with the process
@@JerenesEats LOL Thank you so much I was busy writing down everything you have in the description I missed all of that!!! I will be making this soon! Thanks you again
Jerene using your recipe again this year! It's been a hit ❤
Can I stew them then leave to soak for a few more weeks before baking
Yes and when I do that, I refrigerate it.
@@JerenesEats okay good thank you 😊
What is the use of the coriander powder?
*purpose
Mixed Spice is usually added to Fruit/Christmas cake. I have no mixed spice at home so the spices I've used in this cake are those usually found in mixed spice. Coriander is one of those spices.
Question, when we let it sit overnight do we cover it?
It'll still be hot so don't cover it until it is cool. You can use a light kitchen towel or mesh if it's still hot when going to bed
How much rum and wine did you put in the stewed fruits
I don't measure at that point. But as you can see in the video at about 4:08 , I don't put too much because they won't be soaked for months, they're going into the blender. So pour enough to get your puree to the consistency similar to mine shown here 4:48
Remember you're going to be measuring the PUREE not the whole pieces of stewed fruit. So it is when you've pureed it, that you will have to measure 😉
Check out the description box below the video by clicking on the down arrow beside the video title
Okay one last question I'm about to add the rum and wine . Do I drain the wine off when blending or just blend everything (puree)
@@toni-annbrown117 blend it all
Are you using pure vanilla extract or artificial in the recipe?
Hello i live in toronto, can u tell me where can i get the fruits that ur using? And can i just use wine alone instead of the rum?
Hi, No Frills, Superstore and other supermarkets usually have the dried fruits. Yes you could use just wine but the flavour is definitely BETTER with rum added
@@JerenesEats ok, thank u.
What temperature did you set your oven at
Indicated here ➡️10:06 (350 for 1 hour)
How do you do it if you didn't stew it?
Here's a video where I made the cake with soaked the fruits instead of stewing. ua-cam.com/video/F2dlFhpiNpc/v-deo.html
Hey, what are the measurements for the ingredients please... I see everything you use but how much of each?
Check the description of the video. It's the box below the video
@@JerenesEats aww thank you
@@trudyann9578 no prob luv
What makes the difference in the texture ? Is seems to me like you did the same thing for both cakes
@@harmonybridge2740 Perhaps you've looked at the ingredients only. They are very similar. Have a look at the video and check out the differences in the methods.
It doesn’t matter to me.. once the cake tastes good I will eat anyone.
Agree
Hello from Trinidad good job
Thank you darling
I love the cake texture but my fruitcake always has a pudding texture
Maybe...too much fruits or too much liquid or excess mixing or raised then sunken because of constantly checking oven. There are so many things that could cause it love. I'm hoping this time it works out for you if you try my "cakey" recipe. ua-cam.com/video/F2dlFhpiNpc/v-deo.html
Cake
You need to give measurement

I HATE pudding textured cakes.
I make BOTH to suit whoever is visiting 😄
Why put coriander which is a herb in christmas cake. Caribbean meet Asian blend.
If you WATCH THE VIDEO you will notice that I did not add cilantro herb I added coriander POWDER. Also...the popularly used MIXED SPICE that is usually added to Fruit cake sometimes contains Coriander powder depending on the brand or the region in which you live.
The addition of Coriander powder is not as strange as you may think luv
@@JerenesEats coriander is NOT used in mixed spice.....it is a main spice in curry powder tho!
Then again it's ok to experiment😊
Cakey always!
@@anntonettechickorie9725 if you were to purchase a British brand of mixed spice you may see coriander listed as an ingredient. The same way allpurpose seasonings ingredients vary from brand to brand. An allpurpose seasoning in Jamaica might differ from one in North America or India.
@@anntonettechickorie9725 Yes coriander is awesome in curry! It is also used in sauces, chili, soup etc.
