Today, Goa’s Christmas fruit cakes have become part of the local tradition. Every major hotel in Goa organizes an annual cake mixing event. For example, Leela Goa maintains the highest level of safety and hygiene to organize their cake mixing activities. The cake mix includes 100 kg of various dried fruits such as apricots, almonds, dried cranberries, raisins, black currants, black currants, glazed cherries, Tutti Frutti, dates, dried figs and spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves Powder and cardamom powder are mixed with intoxicating brandy and rum. The mixture will be soaked and stored until around Christmas so that the dried fruits can be well macerated. Cake is more popular as a punchline than dessert, but either way, it leaves its mark on the holiday. From the annual bread tossing contest, to moisturizing the cake (possibly with alcohol), to joking about how heavy a fruit cake is—the fun never ends.

Love them or hate them, the Christmas fruit cake in Goa will not go anywhere. Today, let us learn about its history-and take a bite of anything else we can find!

Christmas cake is a British way of life, originated from plum porridge. People eat porridge on Christmas Eve and use it to fill their stomachs after a day of fasting. Soon, dried fruits, spices and honey were added to the porridge mixture, which eventually became Christmas pudding.

In the 16th century, oatmeal disappeared from authentic recipes, and butter, wheat flour and eggs were added. These ingredients help to preserve this combination together and eventually form a cooked plum cake. Affluent families with ovens began to make fruit desserts with marzipan (a type of marzipan) for Easter. For Christmas, they used seasonal dried fruits and spices to make similar cakes. Spices represent the exotic oriental spices added by the wise. This cake was later called "Christmas cake".

There are many different ways to make Christmas desserts, but usually they are variations of the basic fruit cake. They can be light, dark, moist, dry, heavy, spongy, fermented, unfermented, etc. They are made into many unique shapes, including frosting, glazing, dusting with powdered sugar or plain colors.

The common Scottish Christmas cake, also known as Whisky Dundee, is very popular. This is a mild and crumbly cake that contains currants, raisins, cherries and Scotch whiskey. Other types of Christmas desserts include apple cream cake and minced meat cake. Apple butter cake is made with apples, different fruits, raisins, eggs, cream cheese and fresh cream. Minced meat pie is made with ordinary minced meat or vegetarian minced meat, flour, eggs, etc. It can also be steamed to make Christmas pudding.

All Christmas desserts are made in advance. Many people make them in November, turning the cake upside down in an airtight container. A small amount of brandy, sherry or whiskey is poured into the hole of the cake every week until Christmas. This technique is called "feeding" the cake.

In the Philippines, Christmas cake is a yellow pound cake with nuts or ordinary English fruit cake. Both desserts are soaked in brandy or rum, palm syrup and water. Usually add rose water or orange blossom water. Desserts have a long shelf life, usually lasting for several months. Sometimes they will be eaten the following Easter or Christmas.

If you do not have the time or stamina to make Christmas cakes yourself, then high-quality store-bought Christmas desserts are the right choice. You can discover many unique types and flavors.
