getting the texture..just a little bit of salt.. the reason i dint put any kind of baking sodain here is because it supposed to be a very dense cake, so you dont really want any airpockets in it.. it just going to be packed with delicious peanut buttery cake, nuts & areboozy raisins..if you don't do booze, you can totally replace it with little bit ofapple juice or orange juice.. just dump em right in.. and a little bit ofroasted salted nuts..a whole lot of them...get that all mixed in..and then put a little bitof delicious raspberry jam here..you can do any flavor you like, but something dark likegrape jelly or blueberry.. you don't wanna
mix it in to the batter, but kind of leaveit visible..you want to get little bit of parchment paper and line the pan so that itoverhangs, because after it bakes to sort of pull it out..fruit cake you know is kindof traditionally a holiday thing.. you gift it to people as a gift..so you guys can actuallymake this and give it as a gift if you want..you go right to the top..now this is gonna gointo the oven for an hour at about 350 degrees and then we will keep going with that..sogot the cakes out of the oven and let them cool..cake mummies..take them out of the parchment..i just have nice square of cheesecloth.. you can also use muslin.. and you kind of wannawrap it up like a burrito..you just wanna make sure it is completely wrapped..so weuse brandy and you can use rum or any sort
of spirit you like..just wanna do a abouta few tablespoons..so you just do that for all the cakes.. and put them in a cool dryplace..not refrigerate it..just kind of keep it there for at least 3 weeks.. so its kindof gonna age everything..the booze is gonna soak through the cake.. the booze and sugarpreserves it so you dont have to worry about the cake spoiling.. i actually made a fewof these in advance..so look how nice this looks.. you can see all the nuts and littlepockets of the cranberries and raisins.. its really good.. the peanut butter and jellything really comes through and it makes it feel extra special.. there you have it peanut butter & jelly fruit cake..does yourfamily have a fruit cake recipe that's extra special.. leave it in the comments sectionbelow. thanks for watching, we hope you love
