Our Homebaked Fruit Cake

Our Homebaked Fruit Cake (27 October 2016)


It's Wednesday, the middle of the week, and usually, I would be off carbohydrates. However, in the past few days, my wife and I have been talking of baking a fruit cake for church. Every family takes a turn to provide morning refreshment for church, once every quarter, and it so happens that our turn will be on Christmas Sunday. So, though it is still months away, we have already started planning.

For this coming round, one of the items we will be serving will be fruit cake. We feel it is in keeping with the Christmas theme. But before that day arrives, we plan to do a "dry run", and today it is. There's mixed fruit inside. My wife had planned to add some walnuts, but forgot, so the walnuts are still in their can.

This is the fruit cake my wife baked tonight, 27 October, 2016. This is hot from the oven. I think it comes out very nicely. Yes, the top cracks a bit but we have no problem with that. As I write this, I am waiting for the fruit cake to cool down, so that we can slice into it. I am already planning to enjoy it with hot black coffee tomorrow morning. Can't wait for morning to come!

Having allowed our fruit cake to cool down for about half an hour, we now slice into it, and here's how it looks like:

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
