X'mas Bake 2012 Part 3 - Fruit Cake

I baked quite a few fruit cakes this year for friends and family. They love it and so I will bake it for them every Christmas!

To enhance the taste of the fruit cake, additional brandy/rum can be added onto the baked fruit cake. 

Vanilla Sour Cream Cake

Initially bought a bottle of sour cream to make cheese cake but never get into doing it till the sour cream was almost expiring! Didn't want to waste it so started goggling around for a simple recipe using sour cream and obliviously making a butter cake is the easiest!  

Sour cream makes the cake moist and taste richer.

Condensed Milk Pound Cake

24 Mar 2011

I wanted to finish off the condensed milk lying in my fridge so decided to give this recipe a go. Bookmarked this recipe sometimes ago from Bisous a toi. Thanks Rima for sharing such an easy and good pound cake recipe. What attracted me to this recipe was not only it was highly recommended but also the method. This recipe added eggs at the last stage which I have not tried before. I was wondering by doing so... does it contribute to the fine and dense texture? Anyway this was very well received by my family and colleagues.   

 

The cake was nice! Milky, fine crumbs, moist & surprisingly not too sweet!

Definitely is a keeper. Thanks Jess for sharing!

Fine Butter Cake

29th Dec 2010

This is one of my favourite butter cake recipe which I had baked once, recipe by Florence of Do What I Like. Just before the year 2010 ended, I baked it again. Using a new loaf tin and don't know why the side just turn golden.

A very fine texture and buttery cake. Yummy! Recipe refers to here.

Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Marble Cake

1st Nov 2010

A delicious and flavourful marble cake, fluffy soft and moist. Recipe shared by Honey Bee Sweets. Saw both Bakericious & Passionate about baking attempted this recipe and gave very good reviews on it. So I decided to try it too. Oohs... very well received by family and colleagues! Definitely a keeper recipe!

Made slight changes to the recipe based on whatever I have.
* Reduce a bit of sugar (350g to 330g).
* Run out of unsalted butter so used salted one. Anyway I like butter cake to be more salty. Since using salted butter, reduce salt to 1/4tsp instead of 1/2tsp.
* Used chilled instead of room temperature butter. I find that using chilled butter to beat till light and fluffy, the cake texture will be lighter & fluffier.
* Reduce vanilla to 2 tsp instead of 2.5 tsp since I added vanilla bean extract.
* A tub of sour cream weight only 190g so added 20g of yogurt to make up 210g as required in the recipe.
* Substitute half plain flour with cake flour. Trying to finish off my balance cake flour.
* Used 2.5 tsp double action baking powder instead of 2 & 3/4 tsp baking powder.
* Used 1/4 cup choc chips instead of 1/3 cup
* As my oven temperature is usually higher, so I baked at 170 instead of 180 deg c.

Recipe adapted from: Honey Bee Sweets

Ingredients
250g Salted butter (chilled)
330g Caster sugar

4 Large eggs
2 tsp Vanilla (1 tsp Vanilla bean extract & 1 tsp vanilla)
210g Sour cream (190g light sour cream + 20g yogurt)
420g (220g Cake flour + 200g Plain flour)
2.5 tsp Double action baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips (Hershey mini chips)

Chocolate Paste
3 tbsp Varlhona cocoa powder
3 tbsp hot water

Method:
Preheat the oven to 170 deg C. Grease the bundt pan.

1. In a large bowl, mix the cocoa powder and the hot water together to make a smooth paste. Set aside.

2. Cream butter and sugar together till light and fluffy. Blend in the eggs and then vanilla gradually till well mix. Then add in the sour cream and evenly combined.

3. Fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and blend well. Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips into the batter and mix well.

4. Add 1/3 of the batter into the chocolate paste's bowl (1) and mix well.

5. Spoon in big scoops of vanilla batter into the bundt pan and alternating with chocolate batter as well to create the marble effect. Repeat till all the batter has been put in.

6. Bake in the center rack for the 1st 30mins, then transfer to the lowest rack for another 10 to 20 mins depending on your oven. Total baking time approx 40 to 50 mins. Bake till golden brown and the tester comes out clean.

Like what Jane mentioned, the marbling effect is amazing, every section you cut turn out differently. Thank you HBS for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
