Christmas cake recipe to bake in a 2lb loaf tin. I am a baker and this will work. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1 4 1 1 2 hours until the cake is golden brown and a skewer comes out clean when poked into the middle of the cake. To decorate warm the apricot jam in a small saucepan and brush over the top of. Stir together the remaining flour and the baking powder.

Allow the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes turn out on to a wire rack and leave to cool. Beat into the creamed mixture. Leave to cool then dust with icing sugar if using. Leave cake in tin to cool completely.

Turn the cake mixture into a greased and floured 1 lb loaf tin. Can you advise me as to how long they should cook and at what temperature. Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin put the tin in a deep tray and bake for 1 hr 15 mins 1 hr 30 mins or until a skewer prodded in comes out clean. Just use a christmas cake recipe it will work fine.

Store in a cool dry place. Stir in the fruits and nuts. Bake in a preheated 180 c gas 4 oven for 10 minutes. Spoon into the lined cake tin then bake for one hour without opening the door.

Same temperature 140 on the lowest shelf in a conventional oven or 115 on any shelf in a fan oven. This is where i put the timer on turn the temperature down to 150c gas mark 2 and let the cake continue cooking. 12oz dried fruit 1 oz dried apricots 1oz crushed almonds 1oz hazelnuts 6oz plain flour 5oz butter 5oz soft brown sugar 2 1 2 eggs beaten or 2 large eggs and a spoonful of brandy teaspoon of mixed spice. I would suggest half the recipe.

I am making delia s classic christmas cake but want to cook it in 2 2lb. Bake the cake 45 minutes longer or until it tests done with a skewer. I do have silverwood loaf tins also if you think they would be better. Lower the heat to 170 c gas 3.
