Christmas Cake Recipe
Good day to everyone. Today I want to offer a recipe for a very tasty Christmas cake or as it is also called - an English cupcake. I'm already sharing the recipe, because it needs to be allowed to ripen for at least a couple of weeks, and preferably a month. But trust me, it's worth it. There will be a lot of juicy, delicious, fragrant dried fruits and candied fruits and quite a bit of dough that will smell like a whole bouquet of spicy spices. And if you let the cupcake ripen and brew, it will be just a firework of flavors and flavors. We really liked this cake, I hope you will like it too!! Join us!

  1. the mass of dried fruits and candied fruits is indicated already soaked in syrup. If dried fruits and candied fruits have been soaked in pure alcohol, the amount of sugar in the dough should be increased to 50 grams. A mixture of any spices as desired. I ground cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, cloves and nutmeg in a coffee grinder. Jam can be taken absolutely any. I had an apricot. All ingredients should be at room temperature.

  10. My cupcake was baked for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Baked under foil for 1 hour and 50 minutes. While the pie is hot, it can be smeared with any strong alcohol or syrup, but I had enough dried fruit. Or after it cools down, you can cover the cupcake with a protein glaze.
