ingredients

200 200 gr. crème butter (room temperature)

4 4 piece small eggs

150 150 gr. brown sugar

300 300 gr. flour

250 250 gr. dark Rum

5 5 gr. teaspoon baking powder

200 200 gr. raisins

100 100 gr. assorted candied fruits

200 200 gr. Sugar powder and cherries for decoration

step 1

Wash raisins, toss in a deep bowl, pour 150ml Rum and let it sit for 2 hours. Preheat the oven on 250C. Beat butter and brown sugar for 5 minutes; add the eggs one by one and whisk for another 2 minutes.

step 2

Sift flour and baking powder, add them to the dough and stir well to receive a solid consistency. Move raisins on a riddle. Add all sorts of dried fruits to the dough. Mix them up from bottom to top and slightly lift the dough. Move the dough to a form. If the pan is made of silicon, you don't need to apply anything, however, if your pan is made of glass or metal, spread some butter on it and dredge some flour.

step 3

Turn the oven temperature down to 180C and bake the fruitcake for 70 minutes. If the surface starts burning, then cover it with tinfoil. Take out the baked fruitcake from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes, place on a riddle and pour the leftover Rum. Let it cool down.

How To Serve
