Recipe's preparation

Combine sultanas, raisins, currants, dates, cherries, craisins, pineapple, mixed peel, brandy and orange rind in a large bowl.

Cover with plastic wrap and set aside, stirring occasionally, for 2 days to macerate.

Preheat oven to 150°C.

Brush a round 22cm (base measurement) cake pan with melted butter to lightly grease.

Line the base and side with 3 layers of non-stick baking paper.

Use thermomix to beat butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well between each addition until just combined.

Add butter mixture to fruit mixture and stir to combine.

Add flour and mixed spice and stir until well combined. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth the surface.

Lightly tap pan on benchtop to release any air bubbles.

Arrange almonds and cherries on top of the cake.

Bake in oven, covered with foil, for 2 hours 40 minutes to 3 hours or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean.

Drizzle hot cake with extra brandy.

Set aside to cool before turning out.

Tip

You can make this cake up to 3 months ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
