Fruit Cake Spice mix

Mumy (wife of my maternal uncle) was the only baker in our family until I developed my interest in baking. A few months back I called her to know her recipe for Rich Fruit Cake. The cake we’ve grown up eating. As a child Christmas means to us was decorating the tall Christmas tree at Mama’s place, and eating mumy’s Homemade Cake. Mumy was from a Christian family, she inherited baking skills in her genes. While briefing me about the recipe of the Christmas Cake, she told me, “Add the spice powder after shifting the flour”. Spice powder, what is that? I curiously asked. She smiled and replied, “It’s a special Spice mix I’ve learned to make from my mother”.

Then she shared that secret recipe with me. This spice powder not only makes the cake delicious and aromatic, but it also makes your job easy. You just need to add a small amount of this into any fruit cake batter. No need to grind the whole spices separately every time while you’re going to make a cake or cookies in the festive season. Make a fresh batch of this spice mix, and you’re ready to add a spicy, aromatic punch to all your holiday bakes. If you’re trying this recipe, don’t forget to share your experience with me. 🙂

  1. I did not know this is called cake mix but I use this combination anyway in all of my cakes and baked goods 🙂 This is one amazing combination – isn’t ? Sometimes I add white pepper powder and all-spices. It adds a bit of kick to all baked goods 🙂

     
  2. 1 cup of cinnamon? how large is the cup? can you tell me the measure in number of sticks or weight?
    I use only freshly ground cinnamon in all my bakes. Never tried nutmeg or cloves though I am aware of it.

     
    • Hi Jeni, It is 1/4 cup mentioned in the recipe which is equivalent to 4 tbsp. I hope you’ll enjoy using this spice mix in your bakes. 🙂
