Christmas Cake

I. Start by preheating your oven to 16O°C on the fan-bake setting

2. Then in a large saucepan, add 500g Sunbeam Mixed Fruit, 1 teaspoon of mixed spice, 100g of Sunbeam walnuts, 150g of sugar, 150mL of brandy, 150mL of orange juice and 125g of unsalted butter (note: you can sub the brandy for more orange juice if you like!)

3. Next bring the saucepan to a simmer over a low heat for approx. 20 minutes, then pop the fruit mixture into the fridge to cool down.

4. Now in a large mixing bowl, add 2 eggs, 2 cups/270g of flour, 1 teaspoon of bicarb and 1 teaspoon of baking powder

5. Next pour the chilled fruit mixture into the bowl and give it a good mix using a wooden spoon.

6. Now line a 19cm x 6.5cm round baking tin with baking paper as demonstrated in the IGTV, then pour the mixture into the tin (be careful not to collapse the sides of the baking paper.

7. Give the tin a few taps and a good shake around to ensure the mixture is nice and even, before popping it into the oven at l60C (be sure to keep an eye on the top of the cake to ensure it doesn’t burn!)

8. After approx. l hour 10 minutes insert a skewer into the cake: if it comes out clean, the cake is done and you can remove it from the oven.

9. Set the cake aside to cool for a few hours, then remove it from the tin. Peel off the baking paper and serve!

Sunbeam Spiced Christmas Cake

In a large bowl, combine mixed fruit, cherries, nuts, apple, golden syrup and liquor. Mix well, cover and allow to stand overnight (or up to 24 hours for amazing flavour).

Preheat oven to 150ºC (130ºC fan forced). Very generously grease the bundt tin, ensuring butter is in all creases.

Add sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a beater attachment. Beat until fluffy and pale. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated before adding the next.

Add flour and spices, beat on low until just combined. Add orange zest and soaked fruit mixture and beat until just combined.

In a small bowl mix together orange juice and bicarbonate of soda, add to the cake batter and beat until just incorporated.

Spoon batter into the prepared bundt tin, using a spatula to press mixture into any crevices and flatten the surface.

Bake for 2 ¼ to 2 ½ hours or until the cake springs back when gently pressed in the centre. Allow cake to cool in the tin for an hour then invert onto a baking rack to remove and allow to cool completely.

Crunchy Apple Slaw

Place pine nuts and sesame seeds in a small frying pan and cook for 5 minutes until golden and toasted. Set aside.
Combine the cabbage, apples, spring onions, raisins and mint in a large mixing bowl and toss well.
Whisk together the oil and vinegar. Season to taste. Pour over apple mixture and toss well. Spoon onto serving platter and sprinkle with toasted seeds and nuts and some additional mint leaves.

Traditional Hot Cross Buns

Place your flour, yeast, sugar, allspice, cinnamon and salt in your mixing bowl and briefly mix until combined.

Add in your melted butter, warm milk, eggs and raisins.

Mix with your dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until a dough ball is formed and is coming away from the sides of the bowl.

Leave the dough covered with clingfilm in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubles in size.

Knock the air out of the dough and roll it into a log before cutting it into 12 even pieces.

Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place into a grease proof paper linen baking tray (approx. 30cm x 20cm) in a 3 bun by 4 bun pattern.

Cover balls of dough with cling film again and let rise for approximately 40 minutes or until it has risen to about 70% of its original size.

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees after leaving it to rest.

Right before placing it into the oven make your cross mixture by mixing your flour and water until a thickish paste forms. Using a ziplock bag with the corner cut off or a piping bag, pipe your crosses down the center of each bun horizontally and then vertically.

Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until nice and golden brown.

Meanwhile, place jam and water in a bowl and microwave for approx. 30 seconds until melted and combines.

Once buns are fresh out the over, brush your glaze over each one to give them a beautiful glossy finish.

Carrot & Walnut Cake Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Whisk together your plain flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon

In a separate bowl, mix your wet ingredients, milk, white vinegar, vegetable oil, eggs and brown sugar

Once your wet ingredients are well combined, stir in your carrots, shredded coconut, pineapple, walnuts and raisins.

Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.

Fill your muffin tins with your patty pans and then with a spoon or a lever ice cream scoop, fill them to the top.

Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Let cool completely before decorating with meringue.

Once your muffins are cool you can start on your meringue. Mix your egg whites and caster sugar together in a bowl over a pot of water on the stove. Once the heat from the pot has dissolved the sugar in your egg whites, put your bowl on your electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks.

Using a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the corner cut off, pipe the top of your muffins in any shape you like. If you have a blow torch, give them some colour, or leave them natural and decorate with your favourite easter eggs.
