Golden orange and apricot fruitcake Recipe
Method
Step 1
For fruit mixture, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and stand at room temperature overnight.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 150C. Grease 4, 8 x 18cm loaf tins, then line bases with baking paper.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until just combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until just combined. Sift flours over cake mixture. Add fruit mixture and stir well to combine. Spoon batter among prepared tins. Smooth tops then bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Stand cakes in tins for 10 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack to cool. Once cool, wrap in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Step 4
To decorate, sprinkle gelatine over 1/3 cup water in a small heatproof cup. Place cup in a saucepan of simmering water and stir until dissolved. Top cakes with slices of glace fruit then brush with gelatine mixture. Stand for 30 minutes to set.
