Once the fruits are soaked well in the juice, use a sieve and strain the excess orange juice, reserve the orange juice to be used later in making the cake.

you've got the perfect consistency of the cake batter. Line a loaf tin with butter paper, I've used an 8 inch by 4-inch rectangle loaf tin, you can use a round cake tin as well, this batter will give you around 900 gm of cake so you can decide accordingly.

Pour the batter in the tin and tap it on the counter table so to remove any air pockets in the batter, top it with some dried cranberries, tutti fruity, walnuts & almond slivers, bake it in a preheated oven at 150°C for 1 hour. Do not disturb the cake for at least an hour, make sure to check the process of baking keeping the oven doors closed. Check the cake after an hour for its doneness by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean your cake is baked to its perfection, there will also be cracks on the top surface and it denotes its baked perfectly, if the toothpick is not clean you need to bake it a little more. Once baked, carefully take out from the oven and allow it to cool down for few minutes.

After cooling down, run a clean knife from the sides and gently pull up the cake, remove the butter paper and your Christmas plum cake is ready. Slice it and consume accordingly, it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

Use dried fruits as per your choice.
