Rich Fruit Cake#SundayFunday

This is a delicious Rick Fruit Cake with awesome flavor. There is no need to soak these in advance. Soak them overnight and they are good to use.

Ingredients
113 Grams Butter
113 Grams Caster Sugar
113 Grams All Purpose Flour
3 Eggs
¼ Teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ Teaspoon Salt
80 Grams Chopped Nuts
400 Grams Chopped Dried Fruits
3 Tablespoons Rum
1 Teaspoon Cake Spice - Homemade
¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
¼ Teaspoon Nutmeg Powder

Method 
I have used golden raisins, sultanas, mixed fruit peel, cranberries, homemade candied grapefruit and sweet lime peels, plums, glazed cherries.
soak all the fruits in 300 Ml rum overnight. An hour before mixing the cake. Place all the soaked dry fruits in a colander to drain off all the rum. Reserve the rum to use it later. 
Add softened butter into a bowl and then add sugar and cream them together until light and fluffy. Add eggs (one at a time)
If you are using vanilla extract ,you can add at this point.
Add in the flour mix (combination of baking powder, salt ) and lightly fold in with a spatula. Fold in the spices and drained fruits into the batter. This smell and flavor is so awesome of this rich fruit cake. Pour it into lined 6" pan's. 
Bake it at 180°C preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes. As soon as the cake it out of the oven pour in the rums on them. Cool these on a wire rack. These went for my friends.

Homemade Pineapple Rum#Improv

Since many of the imported liquor/liqueurs are so costly online, so I, love infusing alcohol, have made Homemade Limoncello, and this was a hit among my friends, made the Homemade Pineapple Rum too and this is a huge hit.
Although I am a social drinker, have it at a party or wedding celebrations, love making liquor infusions. This Homemade Pineapple Rum requires just 2 ingredients, one large pineapple and white rum, the process is super simple. Add freshly cut pineapple chunks/slices to a jar, top it with white rum, and then let it soak for 2 or 3 weeks, I soaked it for 3 weeks.

Ingredients
1 Whole Fresh Pineapple - cut into small chunk or thin slices
750 Ml White Rum

Method
Place the pineapple chunks/slices in a large, air-tight jar. 
Pour the rum over the pineapple, covering it completely. Seal the jar.
Allow the pineapple to soak in the rum for 2 - 3 weeks. Keep the jar in the pantry shelf. Lightly shake the jar and turn it over every day or alternate days.
After the infusion is complete, strain the liquor from the fruit.
I, started to strain then realized that, had, not taken a pic, so this half jar.
Store the infused liquor in an air-tight jar/bottle in the refrigerator for up to three months.
Enjoy this chilled, this is super delicious!!
Check this space to see the recipes for how I used this infusion.
