This is the fruitcake recipe I grew up eating at home. My mum makes it regularly but I'm not sure where she got the recipe from. It is fairly light, not overly rich and so is suitable for regular baking and eating :D and you'll want to because it's delicious ;D
At Christmas I converted it to TMX and made some to take to my SIL's on the day. In fact, I made the mixture the week before and put it in cupcake liners, froze them and let them defrost on the long drive from Sydney to Melbourne! The pic shows them on the day - excuse the very expensive and decorative serving platter ;D
Tropical Boiled Fruit Cake
Ingredients
450g can crushed pineapple
125 grams butter
1 packet mixed dried fruit (375g)
1 cup brown sugar, (220g)
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1 cup SR flour (125g)
1 cup plain flour (125g)
2 eggs
Method
Preheat oven to 160ºC and grease and line a square cake tin.
Place pineapple, butter, dried fruit, sugar, mixed spice and bicarb soda into TM bowl and cook for 15 minutes at 100ºC on speed soft + reverse.
Allow mixture to cool (mostly - sometimes I'm in a hurry and don't wait that long - doesn't seem to affect it too much).
Add the flours and eggs and mix for 20 seconds on speed 4 or until well combined.
Pour mixture into prepared cake tin and bake for 60 minutes.
Enjoy :)
PS I just did a search on the forum (after I'd typed this up) and found a couple of similar recipes so sorry for doubling up...

berringamababe - Cook this often, today I cooked mini ones in my slow cooker so I didn't heat the kitchen on this hot afternoon. So moist and yum.
mab19 - A really yummy cake.

Your cakes look so yummy!!
-
They look tasty. I will give this a try as I make a similar one, not exactly the same though.

I posted a similar recipe a couple of years ago. Love it. The recipe I have, came from my granny, 40 years ago. We call it pineapple fruit cake. It is moist and I would encourage any who like fruit cake to try this recipe.
-
I love fruit cake. I make a mango one similar to this.
-
I love boiled fruit cakes. Very easy and yummy.
-
what tin size is this recipe? Suggestion please for 23cm tin - do I need to double the recipe?
-
Is the recipe similar to this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2353.0) one of Chookie's - she uses a 22cm tin.
-
Thanks Judy. Last time I made the pineapple Cooked it in a square tin. Keep an eye on the baking time as this on was cooked in half the time. Have fun.
-
I had a packed of mixed dried fruit and a tin of crushed pineapple in the pantry (obviously bought for something long forgotten now) so have this in the oven right now - enjoying the smells and DH will enjoy scraping out the TMX when he gets up.
-
Thank you, everyone.
-
looks yummy, will make.
-
Made this today. It seems to be a little dense in the centre on the bottom, but if it tastes as good as it smells then it will be fine. Maybe I didn't let the mixture cool enough before adding the flour & eggs.
-
Any uncooked area can be reheated in the microwave, covered with custard and serve as a pudding mab ;)
-
We also love this cake and call it pineapple fruit cake but it is still scrumptious whatever its called. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again and the idea for putting it in patty cases; recipe decided now for DH train club morning tea this week.
-
Big Oooops :-)) I'm not surprised that my cake was a little dense. Guess who forgot to put the eggs in. Found them on the bench later in the evening. :-[ :-[

I think we all have been there Margaret :D I've forgotten to add the oil in a cake recently but realized my mistake before I put it in the oven ;)
-
How long did you cook the individual ones for after you thawed them?
-
Made this again yesterday with the eggs in this time. A really yummy cake now that I have made it with all the ingredients :D :D

A little secret. While Ral was home and very ill and I was trying to tempt him to eat, I made myself one of these fruit cakes. One day I had it for breakfast , lunch and dinner. Don't spread the word. :D

Isn't it wonderful to break out of convention sometimes!?! Just don't tell the grand kids!
-
I think it is one of my ' comfort' foods.. Another is a bacon sandwich. Really bad !!
-
Must confess that I have never had a bacon sandwich :o Are they good?

Mab, disgustingly good.
-
Looks like I had better give one a try. :D
Are they just with bacon or is there anything else in with it? Are they toasted or not?
-
I love bacon sandwiches too, between two bits of toast. Delicious and decadent.
-
I've never had a plain bacon sandwich but I do like egg and bacon sandwiches on fresh bread, not toasted. With sauce ;D I've eaten them hot or packed them up to take somewhere for lunch cold. Don't know how others have them.
-
Can eat them either way, on fresh bread or toasted. This little pig likes both. It is essential to have very good bacon. Some like mustard on the bread others not. The day I left a very sick DH at hospital, I went into a very posh cafe and asked if I could have bacon and toast. This I made into a bacon sandwich. It was sooooo good that I asked whose bacon it was, and it was Istra Bacon. They are a small family business not far from us at Cherokee. We know the family well and I suspected it was their bacon. The 'sour dough bread'. That came with it wasn't sour dough, but this was ok. The bacon should be cooked crispy but not over done.
Try it. Don't blame me if you become addicted.
-
I too love a bacon sandwich, but really I love anything with bacon in it ;D
-
Wonder, I was speaking to a man at the Flemington Farmers Market and he said they were smoking pumpkin seeds and when ground, they tasted just like bacon.
