Four days before Christmas, I am sharing with you my favorite recipe for a delicious Christmas cake like Panettone. It is fruity, low in sugar and full of taste.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 or 3/4 cup of sugar (depends on how sweet you want it).
125 gr butter
1.5 cups of all-purpose flour
1 orange
1/2 cup walnuts
3 tbsp of milk
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 cup mixed dried fruits and 2 tbsp of orange and cardamom jam (or sweet carrot)
Step by step:
1. Place the dried fruits in a bowl and pour the orange juice on them.
2. Place the butter and the sugar into a large mixing bowl and mix, using hand mixer or stand mixer for 3-4 minutes, or until butter mixture is pale yellow, light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one by one, the baking powder, the walnuts and the milk and mix for a couple of minutes.
4. Add the flour and mix gently with a spatula. Add the dried fruits (with the orange juice) and the jam (or the sweet carrot).
5. Spread the dough in a baking silicon pan and bake for 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 170oC
Everyone has a cake that matches their personality and this is my cake!
Enjoy!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅
