English cake with candied fruits
J’adore le cake anglais aux fruits confits mais je ne le cuisine pas souvent, alors quand j’en fais c’est la fête à la maison, youhou !!!
Voici une version avec beaucoup de fruits confits et de raisins, et de la vergeoise pour lui donner un goût plus prononcé, mais si vous en avez pas, remplacez-la simplement par de la cassonade, du sucre blanc ou bien du miel (c’est simple la vie quand même !).
Comme je sais que vous êtes des filles (et des garçons !) pressées(ou un peu flemmardes sur les bords), il n’y a même pas besoin de faire tremper les raisins dans le rhum, we integrate the two separately, life is not beautiful ?!!! And more, the fruit does not fall to the bottom, you will be proud of yourself (you have to appreciate yourself from time to time, because yes, I admit it, I also miss things sometimes !!!).
English cake with candied fruits
Ingredients
- 200 g of flour
- 125 g of butter
- 80 g of vergeoise
- 3 eggs
- 100 g raisins
- 100 g candied cherries
- 100 g mixed candied fruit (angelic, orange, melon, pear…)
- 1 c. to s. amber rum
- 1 packet of yeast
- 1 c. at c. bicarbonate of soude
Description
Preheat the oven to 180°.
Cut the butter into small pieces and let it warm up a little until it becomes soft..
Mix together the butter and the sugar, the mixture should become creamy.
Then add the eggs one by one, mixing well between each. If your mixture is not smooth, It's not a big deal !
Then add the flour, the yeast and the bicarbonate all at once and mix without overworking the dough. Be careful, I'm going to make myself interesting: for those who don't already know, you should not overwork the cake dough because this develops the gluten contained in the wheat flour and you will have a very dry cake. ! Not cool !!!
Then add the rum and the fruit (cut if necessary) and mix.
Put everything in a buttered and floured cake mold if necessary and bake 20 min. At the end of 20 min lower the oven temperature to 120° and let it cook 40 min.
Nice snack !

30.4.13I must admit, I'm not a fan of candied fruit cake, but at the same time I have never tried to make it at home, and yours looks great !
I've been following your blog for a while now and I love it, especially since you publish at a pace that impresses me ! That is why, when I was tagged for the Versatile blogger award, I immediately thought of “tagging” you too. I hope you won't mind participating in such a game. !
Have a good week and good luck in any case 🙂
