The British Fruit Cake is traditionally served during the Christmas season. It is full of dried fruits and nuts, laced with alcohol over several weeks, and often covered with marzipan and royal icing. The problem is that it's both expensive to make and it needs time to age. Luckily, there is a much simpler version of this cake for the last minute baker, and I call it an Easy Fruit Cake. You may know it as a Boiled Fruit Cake, a War Cake, and/or a Bachelor's Cake. I love a lot of things about this cake. I love that it still uses all the necessary fruit cake ingredients, like dried and candied fruits and ground spices. I love that the batter is so easy to make and you don't need to pull out your stand mixer. And most importantly, I love its flavor and that it can be eaten almost right away. This is one cake that is so good that it begs to be made all year, not just during the Christmas season.

Thanks. I tried several of your other recipes and my family could not believe that I did such an excellent baking. Credit goes to you and your detailed step by step easy instructions.
You always inspire me, & make me feel confident that baking is easy, with no fuss or frills. Thank you
Stephanie, this is what my mother has been making for over 65 years, minus the orange peel and replaced with walnuts from our walnut tree. A childhood favorite. I too will be baking this and my Applesauce cake.
I remember my mother made this in the sixties, at every year before Christmas time, she added rum to it, and no one liked it, but her. . . I asked her to make it with out rum, and every one loved it. She added candy cherries also. Thanks for sharing this, and Merry Christmas to you. Christmas isn't the same with out fruit cake.
The cake sounds really good but I have to confess that the "icing on the cake" was the bark, followed by the camera panning down to your sweet little dog standing at your feet!! In fact, it was so cute that I had to rewind to watch it again. I have been grinning the whole time I have been typing this response.😄😁❤
Hi Stephanie, I hope you will demonstrate baking also food for the gods.
Thank you so much for this recipe. This is the third year that I have been making. Perfect cake and so easy to make. Love it.
Hello Stephanie! I baked this cake yesterday & it came out beautifully well! The family loved it. Thanks again! God Bless!
I bake this type of boiled cake through out the year, with variations. Some times adding cherries, walnuts {put them in at the last mix} mango, apples, i make my own orange candid peel as the taste difference is wonderful. Like you I found it difficult to get through out the year, so just started making it. I am ashamed to say ... I do stockpile cherries. Your videos are a joy to watch. Clear and conscience, spreading the joys of baking.. thank you.
I've never made fruit cake but I LOVE it! I bake a lot of cakes and my team at work has requested a fruit cake when we resume work in the new year. I'm baking batches of cookies because I wasn't sure of the fruit cake... Now that I've seen this video, I'm gonna give this a shot!! Wish me luck!!
Very similar to the fruit cake my Mom made but she boiled hers in grape juice instead of water. She also used dark brown sugar. I never got the full recipe before she passed away so I've been trying to recreate the one she made. Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try this.
Thank You Stephanie. This is my one of my favorite recipe .I have been making this recipe every Christmas for the past 6 years. Right now in the oven!
Hi Stephanie...I used to be terrible in baking...now I follow your recipes step by step...I get great compliments for my baking because of you...love all your recipes...I will be making this in few days...thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️😇🙏
When my mom makes her fruit cake she makes it in a muffin tin like you do cupcakes. Then she freezes then. That way you get one portion when you need it.
I made your cake yesterday and it turned out well. My husband who does not eat cake asked for the cake to be cut and ate three slices before Christmas 😁and said it was really good. Thank you for the lovely easy recipe will be baking one more today.
I just baked this cake today…. It was amazing…. I added walnuts, omitted cloves and added dried blueberries and dried apricots…. It was an easy no thinker recipe. Thank you
What amount of walnuts did you add?
Made this cake yesterday. I was afraid it would be too sweet with the two cups of fruit along with the brown sugar, but it was just right. Thank you for all the great recipes!
Thankyou, this fruit cake was really delicious. Tried this recipe without candied peel but substituted walnuts and put into 2 smaller plum tins to make it last longer for family. Used sultanas, dried cranberries for the fruit.Took 30 mins ...very good. I also boiled the sultanas separately for 4 mins in brandy first. Thanks again from Italy.
I agree with Stephanie this recipe of Fruit Cake is honor and should be recognized after or before Christmas days. All year around.🎉🎊🎇Happy 2021*
Thank you for this recipe! I was getting so intimidated by all the other recipes out there.. marzipan, soaking, brandy, all a week before Christmas. the list was endless..
Every year I make this no-fail recipe. Even the oven temperature and timing is perfect.
Definitely going to try this recipe. Gives a new Better meaning of Fruit Cake!
My husband loves fruit cake which I normally make twice a year, once weeks in advance for Xmas and then a Simnel cake at Easter. I have just made this and it is so quick and easy I think we'll be enjoying it on a regular basis
I've made this a gazillion times and it has come out perfect every single time winning people over. Always a pleasure to watch you and your recipes. Thanks a ton. Love and Happy Holidays from India :)
I like all your recipes. Thanks for sharing.
My mom have been making similar to this. She adds dried peach, raisins, walnuts and shredded carrots. Without spices.
Yay I’m able to watch this before bed. It’s almost midnight in Australia! I love this fruit cake, it’s easy and quick. Looks wonderful thank you Stephanie
🇬🇧 Thank you I lost this recipe, is a very good fruit cake. Happy New Year
I have been making this every year at Christmas at my friends demand.. they love it... thank you Stephanie.. happy holidays
I am writing this mail ✉ as you you wish
I'm afraid 😨
@@zalilaomar9308 afraid of??
This is such a good, easy fruit cake. I didn’t have enough dried fruit and I used chopped Mejoul dates. I plan to make it again soon as it disappeared before I could think of freezing it.😊
My God, she's changed so much over the last decade... I've just watched one of her videos from 2011, and she looked so wooden and uncomfortable back then. She's so much more relaxed and confident now. Total makover.
Thank you Stephanie & Rick for another great instructional video. I respectfully disagree that kids & alcohol flavoured bread do go perfectly together in the week before Christmas - anything that gets them to settle down and into bed easier ;) I'm thinking candied red cherries, pecans, & chopped chocolate discs with some Kahlua or Bailey's for flavouring. All the best this holiday season & continued good health in 2021. Thank you for another year of making our lives better.
Thank you! I love fruitcake,even the store bought.I can eat a 1# Claxton easy. 2#= 2 servings.....I know.
Merry Christmas
I have ditched my traditional fruit cake for this recipe since the last 3 years! Its perfect everytime and as you say, keep it for a couple of days and it tastes divine.

Thanks Stephanie for sharing this easy fruit cake recipe...i made it multiple times and earned lot of praise....
This is my father’s favourite cake, he loved this recipe. Thank you so much!
My grandmother made war cake back when...oh,how a piece would be so nice right now
I soaked the fruit in Whiskey overnight and reduced the water, made it interesting and very tasty
Just baked this simple fruit cake,really yummy
Thank you for your info. After all the years I've been baking I never knew that about dark coloured pans. Great news thank you.
Going through the RUclips to find easy Christmas cake or plum cake , this one looks easy rather than soaking dry fruits in rum or brandy for few weeks . Will definitely try this
Can we replace parchment paper with aluminum foil?
I have make this cake every Christmas thank you for your easy method of baking
Thank you..made it today and simply love it. You are right it is an all-year cake.
I have tried this recipe of yours, the taste is excellent, I however face one issue,sometimes after baking and cooling the cake, when I cut it, it crumbles. Why does this happen. Secondly sometimes even after one hour, of baking, I find that the toothpick inserted dies not come clean. How long should it bake for the measurements given in your recipe. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
Yes you need to bake the cake until the toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Every oven is a little different so it could take longer than what the recipe states. I find it best to store the cake overnight before cutting as it improves both the texture and flavor.
@@joyofbaking Thank you for the immediate response.
TQ Stephanie for your answer.
We must see more doggie!
Love this recipe! Thank you so much! Can I use an 8inch square pan for this recipe? Will this recipe be enough for 1x8inch shallow pan or 2x8 inch shallow pans? Appreciate your help❤
Hi Stephanie! Your recipes are awesome and delicious. I try most of your recipes. Thank you so much for these tested recipes. Definitely going to try this out. Looking forward to see more amazing recipes.😍😊

Hi good morning to you and a Happy New Year 2023, I have tried your lovely recipe several times and found that it's very userfriendly and easy to follow the steps given thanks alot for your time.
Hi Stephanie! I baked this cake last eve n it came out very nicely only thing it cracked a bit on top but taste really good. Thanks dear.
A little cracking on top is normal.
I like how happy you are making this cake! I bought the candied fruit i will make it on friday thanks for the recipe
Oh, just the recipe I need. It looks easy enough for me to muster. Thanks Stephanie for sharing this recipe.
So good! I love the way Stephanie presents this recipe. I am definitely going to try this.
I have tried this recipe of yours quite a few times and it is truly a wonderful recipe, except that it takes a bit longer to bake in my oven
In the printed recipe it says; If using a dark coloured pan reduce the oven temp. from 180 to 160 degrees can you tell me why please. Many thanks for your recipes I follow them constantly.
Dark colored pans absorb and distribute heat more quickly than light colored pans so you need to reduce the heat a little.
Much love for this one Stephanie!
Yummy. Thank you so much❤
I will make it for sure my dear lovely lady. Merry Christmas to you and to everyone in the whole world⚘🌲⚘
Oh my God.. tried this recipe.. Awesome Stephanie. Thank you

Thank you miss for sharing yr fruit cake receipe, looks delicious a must try receipe for all, l love yr doggie so cute ! Greetings fm Malaysia.
Hello ma'am...why are'nt you adding baking powder? Is baking soda enough for this cake?..pls do reply me ma'am..Any ways...Merry Christmas to one n all...lots of love from kerala,India.
Yes this recipe uses baking soda and as you can see from the video it worked fine.
@@joyofbaking thank u so much.will definitely..gonna try....u r my inspiration....love you...
Lovely as always!doubt…the two cups of dry fruits (you first added it while boiling,was that 1 cup)would include the peel/mixed peel right??
No. You use 2 cups raisins and boil that. The 1 cup candied peel is folded into the batter.
Love it! I used spiced rum instead of water, perfection! :)
I’ve been cooking for years & enjoy it! I have learnt a lot watching your channel 🥰 I recently made your ginger cake YUM YUM I have made a lot of your loaf cakes ( banana, date, ) they freeze fabulous, have just made mini cheesecakes yummy, will make this fruit cake for Christmas Thank you 🌹 have a great Christmas 🎄

Have a wonderful week dear Stephanie!
Was just searching for the fruit cake for Christmas and found your easy recipe. Thanks a ton !!
Nice video Stephanie i use your recipes to bake
It 's my favorite fruit cake, I make it every Christmas ❣️
Can I use rum instead of water and instead of boiling the fruit just soak it for two three days? Since I don't have brown could I caramelise the white sugar
So tempting and so simple recipe without mollasses. Thanks alot ma'am i will tru it
Thanksmam forthe lovely fruitcake stay blessed with ur loved ones
Love your recipes. Very well explained and to the point. I've made a few recipes from you and they all came out very well and super delicious 👌. You are definitely my go to for all my desserts.
Fruit mixture cooling as I type... looking forward to finishing it and, most importantly, eating it later/tomorrow. Couldn’t find orange candied peel here in the uk so might add some crushed almonds instead? Fingers crossed I won’t mess it all up :) such a lovely lady, love your videos. Used to have a clever fox terrier too
Just tasted this fruit cake that I had made yesterday, it is so yummy, everyone loved it, thank you for this wonderful recipe! Will make it more often. ❤️
As I didn't have the loaf tin, I made it in a 7 inch square pan. It came out perfect.
Can I add nugmet powder too?
Store the cake overnight at room temperature?
Can I use 2 x 6' inch mold for this recipe?
Hi again Good afternoon. Well am here to give you a low down about my fruit cake. Well it turn out great i not to long put icining in a peice and am having a slice from it, its delishious. Hm.... but i encounter one problem my fault actually. Well i bake the cake am guessing about half an hour to long plus i left it in the oven overnight after baking it and the bottom of the cake burn a bit. So my cake in my 9 x13 foil tin pan would have been perfect at 2 1/2 hours. So next time i will know better. Anyways thanks for the basic recepie. Or yea all the water dried up and i did not put anymore adding to the burn below. Have a lovely day.
I’m a big fan of you since I watched your first video..I just loved how you explained everything..keep up the good work❤️❤️❤️
Like this easy version , saved a lot of time.
I m definitely going to make this delicious n very easy fruit cake.....❤️thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe ❤️
Thank you for this simple fruit cake! Will try it!
I really live your videos and you☺️.. Been watching you for years now.. So happy when you finally reached 1 million🥰
Stephanie isn't this a replica of your easy fruit cake recipe you made years back. I have been using your recipe for the last two years. It's just perfect ❤️
Yes, this is just an updated video.
@@joyofbaking I know the recipe by heart and have made this cake atleast 100 times or more. Love always ❤️
@@junenoronha3158 do you soak the dry fruits in rum??
No, I do it exactly like the recipe but pour a couple of tablespoons of rum once it's just hot & out of the oven. It comes out just perfect
