Method 3 of 3: Make a fruitcake
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
- Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. After 40 minutes, test the cake for doneness by poking it in the center with a toothpick.When the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. If the toothpick is still damp, bake the cake for another five minutes.
- Let the cake cool down 10 minutes before serving. Delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, cream or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Tips
- Instead of icing, try a citrus topping.
- As a general rule, you collect and weigh all ingredients before baking. This prevents you from having to search for things in the middle of the recipe.
- For a delicious alternative, cover the cake with fruit and yogurt. This is especially nice if you mix the yogurt with equal parts whipped cream.
