Soak mixed fruits with 10 tbsp of brandy / Rum. Leave it overnight so as to have better flavour and softer texture. 2. Lined the bottom of 7 inch round or square cake tin with greaseproof paper and grease the side well with butter . 3. Sieve together the flour and baking powder. 4. Cream butter,sugar and honey until light and fluffy 5. Add eggs one by one beating thoroughly after each addition. 6. Lightly fold in 1/2 of the flour.

Wrap it with foil ( or keep it air-tight tin) and keep it over night before serving. Note: The longer you keep the fruit cake the better it will taste. Tip: Owing to long baking time, a small bowl of water can be placed in the oven to provide water vapour during baking and to prevent the cake from becoming dry.

Hi Irene, I have been thinking so much about what to make for our Christmas dessert this year. I have thought about traditional Christmas Pudding, Fruitcake, etc. The Dundee Cake sounds very nice, maybe I will give it a try. What kind of mixed fruit do you use? Can you let me know. I have so many kinds of dried fruits, and I just wondered which ones tasted the best to you in this particular cake. Thanks so much, and will be looking forward to hearing back from you. Happy Holidays. Sincerely, Diana Diana's Desserts Email: diana@dianasdesserts.com

Hi again Irene, I forgot to ask you before, do you ever make an icing for the Dundee Cake? Thanks, Diana

Hi Diana, I am glad to know that you would like to try out the Dundee Cake this Christmas. The dried fruits that I used are currants, sultanas, mixed peel, red and green cherries. You have to chop up the dried fruits before used. Over here we buy ready mixed chopped up dried fruits. No never make an icing for this cake before. Mmmmmm.... might give it a try. What type of icing do you think goes well with this cake. Royal icing???? Would appreciate very much if you will let me know how you like this cake if you do bake it this Christmas Happy Baking Irene

Hi Irene, If I make the Dundee Cake, I will definitely let you know how it turned out. I am still a bit uncertain about what dessert I am going to make. I'd like to try your Dundee Cake, the problem is that my husband doesn't care for those types of cakes (and he's from England, go figure?), so I don't know. I think a nice royal icing or marzipan icing would be good, don't you? Take care and happy holdiays. Sincerely, Diana

Thanks for the information. And may I know what type of dried fruits do you usually used for your tradition Dundee cake. And which one is better Brandy or Rum to soak the mixed fruits. And maybe you too can share your Dundee Cake recipe with us. I for one will be very happy if you can.This recipe was given to me more than 30 years ago. Happy Holidays, Irene

My recipie is actually the same as yours. The fruit I buy is ready mixed and its a combination of currants, sultanas, rasins, mixed peel and glace cherries. The only difference I make is the alcohol. Because it's a scottish cake the only permissable liquid to use is a good scotish whiskey.

The top of the cake is typically decorated with concentric circles of whole bitlife almonds. Dundee cake is often served with a cup of tea and is a popular treat during the Christmas season.
