Hi Wendy, I just found your channel upon looking for a fruitcake recipe. Yours looks like the best recipe by far! And oh my.... My fruit that is soaking already tastes SOOOO good! I can't wait to make it! My plan is Roanoke it tonight so that we have it all during the holiday season! Btw, since I found your channel, I can't stop watching it! I saw that your daughter (I suppose) is in one of them. What a beautiful girl! Aren't we lucky to be mother's??!! Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year! Thanks for all the wonderful yummy looking recipes!
Thanks Kim, I’m so glad you came across my channel. Please subscribe to it and share with your family and friends 🥰 I’m sure you and your family are going to enjoy this Christmas Fruit Cake. You are so right Kim, I feel so blessed to be a mother.
Wendy, I found you narrating this recipe the year it came out. What struck me was your beautiful smile and cheerful voice and of course, the recipe is very well presented! Blessings on your day.
I’ve baked these for years and this video is the best I’ve seen explaining the soaking of the fruits and the lining of the tin. I never comment on the sacrilege of unlined tins and bone dry fruits but it annoys me, I just had to congratulate you on the correct and perfect instructions you gave. A first time baker will achieve success rather than a burnt and dried offering. Happy Christmas ❤
Thanks Nadia 🥰 I’m so happy that you and your friends enjoyed this cake. Please request all your friends to subscribe to my channel for a lot more delicious recipes to come 😋😋
Thank you for the lovely receipes you give us . I enjoy preparing them as much as my family enjoys eating them . Do not lose the charm you have . It's a God-given gift 🙏

Luisa, I’m so happy you enjoyed my recipe. The full written recipe is available on my website Platin’ItWithWendy.com. I’m attaching it here for you platinitwithwendy.com/blog/christmas-fruit-cake-recipe-part-2/ enjoy!
Wendy, all ur receipes are must try ones, you are an awesome chef. You explain it so well, thanks for sharing most of the lost traditional Goan receipes. God bless u 🙌
Wendy My Dear, Your Channel brings me good cheer. The ambience is thrilling, Christmas Carols softly humming. As the cake batter is blending, My gastric juices are churning. Each step is a tease, Can I request for a big slice of Christmas Cake please??? Aromantic, yummylicious. Wish you and your family A Very Merry Christmas. 🎄🎅❄💞💕🥳
Thanks Janice. It’s such a pleasure to read your little poems and rhymes. I’m really happy that you love my recipes . Merry Christmas and Wishing you a Wonderful New Year 2022♥️
Love watching you !!! You are very pleasant and soothing to the ear . That's one of the reasons I Follow every receipe of the dishes you guide us through 😘🌹😘
Hi Wendy, thanks for your recipe, I did it today, one change, Sugar Caramel did in a little different method, otherwise I had last year’s soaked fruits. Soft moist cake… Merry Christmas in Advance.
Hi Wendy, I am a East Indian from Bandra Bombay. My grandmopther used to make something similar. I just tried your recipe...It was a success. Finger licking good....Thanks and as always...keep up the great work.
Thanks Wendy for a great Christmas cake recipe, just made it and it turned out amazing. I soaked the fruits for about 2 weeks prior to baking. Made a couple of adjustments: increased the ingredients to get a bigger cake and mixed the fruits/nuts in flour prior to adding to the cake, to ensure they didn't sink to the bottom. Just one disappointment: try as I might I could not make the caramel - the sugar wouldn't brown and just became a crystallized mess. I ran to Sobey's and picked up a packet of Fancy Molasses and it worked great to give it that rich brown christmas cake colour, yay I was so happy. Thanks again - this one's a keeper and is going into my recipe book for next year :) Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hi Shirley, thank you so much for such an heartwarming comment. So glad you are going to save my Christmas cake recipe in your cook book for next year. Happy to hear the cake turned out amazing and I hope you and your loved ones have a blessed Christmas season.
Shirley I had the same issue with the caramel, it crystallized rock solid, so I added extra water and put it to boil again,, I cooled it down immediately by placing the pot in cold water . Turned out great
My oven gives too much of heat and my cake gets burnt fast can I reduce the baking to an hour on 150 will check after an hour if it's not ready will keep it for half an hour pour love the way u showed the putting of parchment paper will try it that way thanks so much for sharing the receipe
Dear Wendy. I have been looking for a good fruit cake for years now and here in Guwahati, Assam we call it plum cake. I made it yesterday and when I took the first bite, I knew my search for the fruit cake recipe has ended. It was scrumptious, rich and was an absolute hit at the Christmas party ! Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart

Try dry roasting the sugar in a frypan…keep roasting till it turns golden brown and starts bubbling.Then add desired amount of water.
My oven gives too much of heat and my cake gets burnt fast can I reduce the baking to an hour on 150 will check after an hour if it's not ready will keep it for half an hour pour love the way u showed the putting of parchment paper will try it that way thanks so much for sharing the receipe

Thanks Justina. I am sure you will enjoy this recipe.
I like the way you made the caramel. So much easier (and dare I say, safer) than we do in the Caribbean.
Can we soak the nuts with the dried fruits in the rum/braby?
Fantastic. Looks so moist and delicious. Just like what my Mummy used to make, over the years. Thank you Wendy.
