Grandma Leach's Fruitcake image

My grandmother and mother made these cakes for years. They are moist but don't contain eggs. Applesauce is the secret ingredient. I sold these at bake sales for years and we had many customers who returned every year just to get one.

GRANDMA'S BOILED FRUITCAKE



Grandma's Boiled Fruitcake image

I am posting this for myself, as I only make this once a year - the recipe has often moved since I made it last (or I forgot where I put it). This recipe has been in our family for over 100 years (5 generations), it takes 2 days make and is rich and moist. As this fruit cake contains no alcohol it does not need time to "cure".

Time P2DT2h

Yield 1 cake, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

500 g sultanas
250 g raisins
250 g currants
250 g chopped dates
250 g chopped walnuts
250 whole glace cherries (I always add more as this is my favourite part of the cake)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
250 g butter
1 cup water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
blanched almond, to top (optional)

Steps:

  • Day one.
  • Mix the first 11 ingredients into a large heavy based pot, place over a medium heat. Stir and bring to the boil (don't leave it alone in case it burns at the base).
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, you can leave it alone for this part.
  • Turn the heat off and add the orange juice, stir until well combined and leave overnight to soak. Place a lid over the top to stop moisture evaporating through the night.
  • Day 2.
  • In the cold pot with the pre-soaked fruit mixture add the remaining ingredients and stir well, be warned - you will need some serious elbow grease as the mixture will be very thick!
  • In either 2 large and deep loaf tins or a deep 20x20cm grease and line the sides and base 4 times with brown paper (I use brown paper bags that I have sliced open). Have the paper create a rim that goes up and above the tin. For a square tin you will need around 8 paper bags.
  • Place the cake mix into the prepared tin/s. Bang the cake tin on the floor about 10 times to get all the air bubbles out.
  • Using a wet hand, smooth the cake to make it flat. At this stage you can choose to decorate the top with blanched almonds or not.
  • Place into a cold oven, turn the oven up to 250 degrees F/150 degrees C for 3 1/2 - 4 hours for 1 large cake or 2 1/2 - 3 hours for 2 loaves. Rotate the cakes at least once during cooking - even it you have a fan forced oven. Cake is cooked when a skewer comes out clean.
  • Cool in the tin, cake is best eaten the day after baking.
  • Store in an airtight container for upto 5-7 days depending on your humidity.

GRANDMA'S FRUITCAKE - FOXFERN
My Grandma always made some GROSS fruitcake, that my father would gleefully eat in giant slabs of green and red, speckled, rum-ness. I also loved getting tins of cookies, because it was a REAL treat to have junk food in our house. My Aunties in Louisiana would send care packages with hand-sewn pillow-toys and little trinkets.
