Baking ahoy!

Just baked fruit cake with my mum! It's a pretty simple task! You just need to get eggs, brandy, sugar, dried fruits, flour and butter! See that jar down there? We soaked the dried fruits in the brandy, the longer, the better! 

My awesome hand mixer which is so HANDy. okay sorry.

Cream the butter and the sugar together. I love this part! 

Excess butter on the wrapper can be used to oil the tin container! Re-use and recycle! 

After creaming the butter and sugar together, this is how it looks like. Totally spread-on-bread worthy.

After creaming the butter and sugar, add the eggs in one by one. 

Texture achieved after adding eggs.

Sift flour into batter.

Folding the flour in. If you want to add the brandy in to give the cake more flavor,  add it in after the cake is baked.
This prevents the cake from becoming too dry and losing its moisture and thus it won't taste like fruitcake anymore.

Brandy and fruits.

Mixing the fruits in!

And popping it into the oven! I had enough batter for two! 

Taken using the iPhone not the DSLR so its more pixelated. But anyway I am really glad with the turn out and I will be bringing it to school tomorrow. 

In case you want to try it too, here is the recipe! It is really easy and its a fun activity to do with your family and friends so GOGOGO! 

On a side note, two more days to my June holidays and I can finally go out and do everything I want to do. Cheers to the end of school!
