A WEST INDIAN CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKE

Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Empty all the dried fruits into a bowl and rinse then dry with paper towels.
- A little at a time, add fruit and wine to a blender until it has blended into big chunks. You do not want a puree here! You can also do this in a food processor, just be sure to blend the fruits slightly.
- Pour fruit mixture into a large container and let it soak for at minimum 3-4 weeks to one year.
- Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs a few at a time.
- Add 3 1/2 cups of the fruit mixture, the vanilla and lemon zest (and whatever other zests you would like to use). Mix together.
- Sift all dry ingredients together and add to the batter a little at a time.
- Your spatula or a small spoon should be able to stand up in the batter, this is how you will know it is ready.
- Pour into a 9 in a square pan, and bake for 55 minutes at 300 degrees. You can check the cake after 40 minutes. The toothpick should come out clean.
- Keep checking the cake after 40 min and in 10-minute increments thereafter.
- This cake is a very moist and wet cake, it is not supposed to be dry, if your cake comes out dry then you have over baked it.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting and tasting, tasting it hot will mislead you to the actual taste.
