Dundee Cake

Salam semua,

Hari ni ah kak heppi heppi sebab umi ah kak sudah selamat sampai semalam. So hari ni ah kak buat kek Dundee ni. Dundee Cake ni ala2 macam kek buah juga lah rupanya. Rasanya pun sedang2 je, tak terlalu manis.

Resipi ni dapat dari buku Mum's Favourite Recipes hari tu jugak. Ah kak ni memang bukan penggemar kek buah ni tapi umi ah kak memang suka sangat kek2 yang berbuah cam ni. That's why ah kak cuba resipi Dundee Cake ni, lagi pun nampak macam senang je kaedah nak membuatnya.

Oh ya, lagi satu sebab yang beriya iya sangat nak buat kek ni sebab nak guna Nordicware Baking Tin yang baru je di rembat ini. Memang superb lah Nordicware ni, nampaknya kena makin gigih lah kumpul duit nak buat collection....:)

Ok lah jom kita tengok resipi.

Ingredients:-

250 g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon mixed spice (I used cinnamon je)
50 g ground almonds
grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon
175 g unsalted butter
175 g light muscovado sugar ( I used brown sugar je)
4 eggs, lightly beaten
500 g luxury mixed dried fruit

Method :-

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, spice, ground almonds and lemon rind together in a bowl.
2. Beat the butter and sugar in another bowl until pale and creamy.
3. Gradually mix in alternate spoonfuls of beaten egg and flour mixture until all has been added and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the dried fruits and the lemon juice.
4. Spoon the mixture into a preferred baking tin.
5. Bake in a preheated oven, 160C, gas mark 3 for 1 3/4 - 2 hours until a deep brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
6. Leave the cake to cool in tyhe tin for 15 minutes then loosen the edges, turn out on to a wire rack.

Kek ni memang sedang2 je rasa dia, mungkin sebab ganti muscovado sugar tu dengan brown sugar. Muscovado sugar tu macam gula merah lah kalau kat Malaysia.

Ok, dah boleh di makan. Selamat mencuba.
