Christmas is just about a month to count down, and this is the best time to practice good fruit cake for the day to come!

Fruit cake is a traditional british christmas cake that is full of fruits, some prefer to add in nuts and laced with alcohol, usually brandy. This gives the fruit cake a subtle brandy flavor and a moist texture, plus it also allows the fruit cake to be stored for a long time. I always enjoy eating it with a cup of espresso. For this recipe of mine, I had replaced the brandy with gula melaka, a more towards local delights. The taste is perfectly speechless and dropping in a few more pieces can really satisfy those craving! Yummy!
