Hello,
Steamed fruit cake or kek buah kukus is one of the cake that many Malaysian food bloggers have tried and everyone give a positive feedback and said this cake was really good. So, I've made this cake not long ago and I must admit it is a lovely cake indeed. Thanks to chef Zubaidah for the great recipe.
There is some different recipe of steamed fruit cake that I knew but the basic ingredients are the same. The original recipe called for steaming but instead of steaming, I used the water bath method. For those who want to steam this cake, it will need to be steam for about 2-4 hours so the cake would come out with a moist texture and it can be kept for a month or more.
KEK BUAH KUKUS
Ingredients;
350g sugar
60ml hot water
250g butter
400g dried mix fruits
100g chopped walnuts
3 eggs
350g flour
2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
METHOD;
- In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar until it turn brown and slowly pour hot water and stir until the sugar dissolved.
- Add butter and stir constantly until the butter has melted.
- Add in mix fruits and walnuts and stir to mix together. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes. Set aside to cool a bit.
- Meanwhile, prepare water bath and preheat oven 150°.
- Sift together flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon.
- Add the flour into the fruits mixture and mix to combine.
- Lightly whisk the egg with vanilla extract and pour the egg into cake batter and stir until well blended.
- Pour batter into prepare baking pan. Cover the cake with aluminium foil to prevent the top of the cake from burning.
- Place the cake pan into a large prepared water bath and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting.
Happy baking!
