Eggless Buttermilk Fruit Cake – Video Recipe

As December started, blogosphere is full of plum cakes. I have some good plum cake recipes in the blog, but they are kind of elaborate. You need to make caramel syrup and do some cooking before making the batter. So I was contemplating on an easier recipe to use for beginners. This is one recipe I tried years back from a fellow blogger but completely forgot till now. So I was checking my blog yesterday and came across the recipe. As I was inexperienced, I just made the cake and served it on the same day. So I remember that it didn’t have that Christmas flavour. So this time, I decided to make a video and made the cake. I also let it mature for a day before slicing and I was so happy when I tasted the crumbs. It was just fantastic and so much like my other plum cakes with very little work. So if you are a beginner or pressed for time, try this recipe. It will work wonders.

Tomorrow is my Christmas baking class and I am so excited about it. Incase you missed it, you can join the class and watch the recorded class. The menu is quite extensive. I will be teaching Gingerbread cookies, Gingerbread House, Plum Cake, Spiced Cheesecake, Hot cross buns, Caramel Chocolate tart and fudges. This is going to be so much fun.

Look at the texture! How good is it! It also tastes amazing. All you need to do is mix everything to make a thick batter and bake it. So easy breezy. Check out the video above if you don’t believe. I must thank all my readers for trying out recipes from the blog and sharing it with me through messages and whatsapp and in FB groups. Love you all to the core! Without you guys, I won’t be blogging at all. You inspire me to bake!
