I need a Christmas fruit cake without alcohol? Please could you let me know Christmas fruit cake or can I replace alcohol?
I would not mind using the rum flavoring, because it is cheaper than alcohol real, but how will I need?
Thank you!
This cake recipe easy fruit starts with a cake mix spices.
* 1 package spice cake mix (2 layer size)
* 1 package (3 3 / 4 oz) instant pudding mix lemon
apricot nectar * 2 / 3 cup
* 1 / 4 cup apricot brandy
vegetable oil * 1 / 2 cup
* 4 large eggs
* 1 cup chopped dates
* 1 / 2 cup candied cherries
* 1 / 2 cup chopped candied pineapple
* 1 cup chopped walnuts
* Glaze, optional
* 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
* 2-3 tablespoons apricot brandy (for what you have on hand)
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, apricot nectar, 1 / 4 cup apricot brandy and vegetable oil. Beat at medium speed until dough is smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in fruit and chopped nuts. Turn batter into a generously greased and floured 10-inch tube. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes 50-55 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan 15 minutes then remove to rack to cool completely. For best flavor, plastic and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
Mix 2-3 tablespoons of apricot brandy with 1 cup of confectioners sugar, pour over fruitcake before serving, if desired.
a tablespoon of flavoring.
you can use milk or water to increase the volume
I'm not sure that Christmas Fruit Cake is very good to eat, without alcohol. Yes you can substitute rum or bourbon flavor .. but this is not the same thing to the real thing.
Why not just do things like the recipe instead of trying to change the recipe, then complain when it tastes like crap.?
I suggest you use 2 tbspoons rum or brandy flavoring and mix with wayer.
What is the reason not to consume alcohol? If it's fresh, you can enjoy a drink really cheap supermarket brand. If it is because you do not want children getting drunk so do not worry because the heat burns off the alcohol ... or simply use half the amount?
Have a good Christmas x
