Quick Easy Dessert Recipes
This Easy Fruit Cake recipe is one of the simple fruit dessert recipes that I made one weekend morning - it took me just 30 minutes to prepare. The fruit mix I used were flavourful enough so I need not soak them in brandy as most fruit dessert recipes would require.
Baking the cake does not take up much time either, just 40 minutes and the cake is ready to be enjoyed. I still remember the astonishment on my husband's face as he came down to the kitchen for breakfast that morning and found the cake already baked and smelling so good. This is one of the quick easy dessert recipes that is definitely well worth a try!  Ingredients 220 g Butter; softened at room temperature 120 g Castor Sugar 6 tbsp Milk; 3 tbsp milk powder in 6 tbsp water 200 g Self-raising Flour 1 tsp Baking Powder 4 Medium Eggs 1 tsp Vanilla Essence 1/4 tsp Mixed Spice 60 g Mixed Fruits; lightly coated with flour 2 tbsp Chopped Walnuts
Method Mix together chopped walnuts with mixed fruits.
This will prevent fruits and nuts from sinking to the bottom during baking. Sift flour together with baking powder and mixed spice. Set aside first. Cream butter until creamy before adding tablespoons of sugar gradually. Beat well until sugar has completely dissolved.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with each addition. Add vanilla essence. With a large metal spoon, fold in sifted flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk for a moist cake.
Fold the mixture until you get a honeycomb texture. Add in mixed fruits and walnuts, mixing until just blended.
Pour cake batter into a greased tube pan and bake in preheated oven at 165ºC for 30 minutes before reducing the heat to 150ºC and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes.
