The Easiest Christmas Cake Ever O/T

[Guest guest]

I love SIMPLE recipes. What could be easier than a Christmas Cake that

only uses THREE ingredients? This was on a TV programme in OZ yesterday:

Christmas Cake - Saturday 15 November 2008

by Belinda Burrows

3 Ingredient Fruit Cake

750 grams dried fruit mix

600ml chocolate milk

2 cups SR Flour

1. In a bowl combine the dried fruit mix and the chocolate milk.

Allow to stand overnight in the refrigerator.

2. The following day: Pre heat oven to 180c. Line a 20cm spring form

tin with silicon or baking paper (base and sides).

3. Mix through the SR flour into the fruit/chocolate milk mix and stir

until combined.

4. Spoon fruit cake mixture into the lined cake tin and smooth the top.

5. Place the cake in the oven and cook for approximately 1 hour and 15

minutes, or until a skewer, when inserted, comes out clean.

6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin before turning out.

Sensational, but what the heck is SR flour? Is it a brand name, or is it

like cake flour (which has other ingredients in it besides flour).

Fruit cake is kind of a joke around here. Supposedly there are only 2 or

3 in existence, and they just get moved around from one person to

another, because nobody eats them!

Thanks,

I assumed this was " self-rising " flour. Gotta have SOMETHiNG in it to

make it fluff a bit!

We have two kinds of flour, plain flour and self raising flour. I

think when people use plain flour in a recipe, they usually add

something like bi-carb, to make it like self raising. Maybe someone

else can explain it better for you :-).

I've just bought the ingredients to make one, Elaine. But I will make

my own chocolate milk with cocoa powder. I dont think it will taste

too chocolatey, I think the fruit taste will take over. Seeing as its

a simple recipe, I might also add a bit of brandy essence. But I want

to stay as close to the original recipe as I can for the first one, to

see what it tastes like myself. Then, if I make another one, I might

add the grated zest of an orange and a lemon.

I'll make one in the next couple of days, Carol. But I have a feeling

that it wont still be untouched by Christmas.

You're talking to someone who hasn't scratched baked since I was the

Muffin Maven at the farmer's market last year. Generally I scratch open

a box of something, add eggs or whateer, and go from there. So SR could

be a brand name, it could be self rising, it could been Sir Reginald of

the Round table. You dunno, you ask.
