Eggless Christmas Fruit cake is a rich and delicious cake loaded with rum soaked dried fruits & nuts. This cake is particularly made around christmas festival but it tastes so good that I wouldn\u2019t mind making or eating it for the rest of the winters. The christmas cake is also know as \u2018Plum cake<\/strong>\u2018 or \u2018Fruit & Rum cake<\/strong>\u2018.<\/p>\n

After receiving many messages for eggless christmas cake recipe,<\/b> I decided to experiment with my already existing eggless cake recipes and after few attempts I was able to make rich, spongy and absolutely heavenly tasting christmas cake.<\/p>\n

Traditionally for making christmas plum cake, the dried fruits and nuts are soaked in rum a month before christmas. If you wish you can also soak them a bit longer but here I have soaked them for 10-12 hours. The soaking makes the fruits plump, juicy and thus they add bursting flavour of rum in every bite of cake.  Apart from it, some winter special spices are also added to this cake like nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger<\/strong> which adds up to the depth of flavours and make the cake more aromatic.<\/p>\n

Just like many people I also had this question in mind why christmas cake is referred as plum cake when it actually does not contain any plum. On going through many articles the only explanation I could get was that the raisins, prunes and currants were once upon known as \u2018plums\u2019. As these were generously used in christmas cake so people started referring to it as \u2018Plum cake\u2019.<\/p>\n

As I have completed my education in a convent school, christmas is one of the festivals that will always have a special place in my heart. Though we never celebrated it at home but it was celebrated enthusiastically in our school and that has built many fond memories with friends and teachers. It used to be the onset of winters and we could see our classrooms decorated with colourful christmas ornaments, a big christmas tree with all dazzling decorations put up on display in school reception area, children practicing christmas carols, school boundaries embellished with string lights, all this literally turned our school into a christmas fairy land.  On the last day, Santa Claus used to suddenly pop out and distribute candies and toffees to all of us. For a long time, I used to really believe Santa was real but as the years passed by I could easily recognise that behind the long beard it was no one but one of our teachers kind enough to play Santa for us ???? .<\/p>\n

I have also shared youtube video for this same recipe. In case of any doubt at any step you can refer to it.<\/p>\n
