Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and lightly grease and line the base and sides of a deep 22-23cm round loose-based cake tin with Bake-o-Glide or baking parchment (see overleaf). Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, ground almonds and spices until thoroughly mixed and creamy, preferably with an electric beater or in a food mixer.
- Measure off 100g/4oz of the cake mixture, put in a bowl and set aside. Fold the fruit and rum into the remaining mixture, then gently stir in the marzipan. Spoon this mixture into the prepared cake tin and flatten with a spatula to make a smooth even surface, then make a slight dip in the centre of the cake. This simple trick will give the finished cake a nice flat top. Bake for 11⁄4 hours.
- While the cake is in the oven, make the fruit and nut topping. Mix all the nuts, cherries and syrup into the remaining cake mixture (see tip overleaf). Spoon the mixture on top of the part-cooked cake (once it has had its 11⁄4 hours), evenly distributing the mixture of nuts and cherries across the surface of the cake. Loosely cover the top of the tin with foil.
- Return to the oven for 40 minutes more, then take off the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, so the nuts can turn golden. Keep an eye on them, so they don't get too dark. To test the cake mixture is cooked, insert a fine skewer into the cake - if it comes out clean then it's ready. Cool in the tin then turn out, keeping the lining on, and wrap with foil. (The cake will keep for up to 2 weeks or can be frozen for up to 2 months.)
- To serve, remove the cake from the foil and strip away the lining. Place on a board or serving plate and tie with a decorative ribbon.

DATE-NUT FRUITCAKE
Unlike traditional fruitcake, with its dark color and dense texture, this fruitcake is light-colored and light-textured, flavored with orange, coconut, date, raisins and nuts. It was baked in a fluted cake pan to give it a different shape.-Linda Ault, Newberry, Indiana

DRIED FRUIT AND NUT CAKE
From Alice Medrich's book Pure Dessert. These are basically fruit and nuts with a bit of flour and eggs to bind them together. Exceptionally easy to make, delicious and nutritious, this cake makes not just a fantastic snack, but also a perfect addition to the cheese platter. The fruits can be varied, and as long as they are natural, unsulfered and of a good quality, the end result will be terrific.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line the bottom and sides of one large 9 x 5 inch loaf pan or 2 smaller 8 x 4 loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the salt, baking powder and baking soda to combine. Add the brown sugar, all the dried fruit, and nuts and mix thoroughly with your fingers. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla extract until light. Pour the egg mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands until all the fruits and nuts are coated with batter. Scrape into the prepared pan (pans).
- Bake until the top is deep golden brown and the batter clinging to the fruit seems set, about 1 hour for smaller loaves, 10-15 minutes longer for a large loaf. Tent loosely with foil if the cake appears to be browning too much. Cook completely in the pan(s) on a rack.
- When completely cool, remove the cake from the pan(s). The cake keeps, wrapped airtight in foil or plastic wrap, for several weeks at room temperature or at least 3 months in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for at least 6 months.
- To serve, cut into thin slices with a sharp heavy knife.

23 BEST WINTER CAKES TO MAKE - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (1)Published Aug 02, 2021Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Orange Slice Cake. A lot of winter cakes are dark, spiced, and pretty intense, which I love! But it’s also nice to have something a bit lighter. This orange slice cake has a very light crumb, forgoing brown sugar and deep syrups in favor of something brighter and fresher.
- Yule Log Cake (Bûche de Noël) This is what I think of when I’m picturing winter/Christmas cakes. It’s such a classic and a crowd-pleaser at any party.
- One-Bowl Chocolate Cake. Looking at that picture, you wouldn’t believe that this was a one-bowl wonder. The crumb looks so moist; you’d assume it needs some serious baking magic to achieve.
- Gingerbread Cake. If the thought of making and decorating a million gingerbread people is too much, why not try this gingerbread cake instead? It’s dark, richly flavored, and wonderfully spicy, thanks to the cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
- Chocolate Peppermint Cake Pops. This minty chocolate cake recipe is excellent if you have the time to make it from scratch and let it cool. But I won’t judge if you choose a boxed cake mix.
- Philadelphia No-Bake Cheesecake. This might not be on your radar when thinking about winter cakes, but you can never go wrong with a creamy and sweet slice of cheesecake.
- Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. As soon as the weather turns chilly, I start to crave coffee cake with my mid-morning tea. Something about the cold weather leaves me reaching for a slice of something filling and sweet, and this cream cheese coffee cake more than delivers.
- Hot Chocolate Cake. This might look like a standard chocolate cake, but it actually has a cup of hot chocolate right in the cake batter. Use whichever hot chocolate you prefer, whether that’s from a packet made from scratch.
- Eggnog Cake. Eggnog tastes like a glass of spiced, melted ice cream. It’s thick, rich, and oddly warming from the alcohol. This cake incorporates the drink into a boxed cake mix, along with a few other tweaks, and into the glaze, too.
- Snowflake Cupcakes. Since these cupcakes get covered in blue frosting, you could make them any flavor you want. I like the whites cake because I think it fits the theme, but feel free to use chocolate or carrot.

- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans and walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for 10 minutes. Set the nuts aside to cool. Grease your cake pan or prepare your baking cups.
- In your food processor combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt, and 2 cups of the dates. Process these ingredients until the dates become sandy and there are no noticeable pieces.
- Next, prepare the dried and fresh fruit and the nuts. Peel and dice the apples, dice the plums and the reserved 1/2 cup of dates, and zest the orange. Add the cranberries and set the prepared fruit aside. Carefully select 36 nice-looking pecans and set them aside for the top of the cake. Break up the rest of the nuts with your fingers.
