What Ingredients Do You Need to Make Christmas Cake:

For the Caramel Syrup:

• Brown Sugar: 1/4 cup
• Water: 1/4 cup

For the Cake:

• Dry fruits: Total should be 1/2 cup, I am listing down the ingredients I used, you can adjust the quantity according to what is available in your pantry, but remember the total quantity should be around 1/2 cup. Make sure you use at least 8-9  dates.
• Date: 8-9 pitted dates (take the seeds out)
• Cashew
• Almond
• Dry Cranberries or any berries of your choice
• Walnuts
• Butter: 120 gms (you need room temperature butter for this)
• GF maida/all-purpose flour: 1 cup
• Brown Sugar: 1/4 cup ( take 1 clove and blend this sugar into a powder in a mixer)
• Vanilla: 1 tsp
• Eggs: 3
• Baking Powder: 1tsp
• Milk: 1-2 tablespoon

Method:

Make the Caramel:

1. In a heavy-based pan, add the brown sugar. let it melt on low flame.
2. It will start melting soon. 

3. It will take about 7-8 minutes depending on how big or small the brown sugar granules are. After it cools down the caramel will become like glass, you won’t n be able to put the spoon in. So later you will have to melt the caramel again with water.

4. After it has cooled down, bring it back to the stove. Now add a bit of water. Just a bit not all at once. Let the water work its magic, the water will melt the caramel again.

5. Add some more water, you would see the caramel melt entirely. Don’t be impatient, else you will burn the caramel 🙂

Cake:

1. Take the butter in a bowl, add the powdered sugar.
2. Whisk the butter and sugar.
3. Add the eggs,  1 at a time.
4. Whisk them all together, till the batter becomes light.
5. Add Vanilla. Add the caramel.
6. Now in the bowl where you have kept the dry fruits, add 1-2 tablespoon flour and coat the dry fruits with that flour. This ensures the dry-fruits don’t sink to the base while baking.
7. Time to add the flour and baking powder.
8. Mix the flour in the egg, sugar batter.
9. Fold the flour properly.
10. Add the dry fruits. Fold them nicely.
11. Bake @180C for 35-40 mins. Again baking time also depends on your oven. It took 35 minutes to bale in mine, it might take a bit more or less time in your oven.
