Stained Glass Window Cake Recipe

| 1 | Hi - does anyone have a really good recipe for this cake? I've decided to make this as my Xmas cake this year because it'll be easier to transport in my suitcase when I fly to Sydney. Plus it's normally kept in the fridge ie not in a cake tin so that's also easy because I can freeze it before travelling. Many thanks if you can help here. bluetigerrr - 2017-11-24 12:03:00 |

| 3 | I always make Alison Holst's Cathedral Window Cake from an old recipe book of hers which gives instructions for microwave cooking. You need to be able to use only a 30% power level tho and cook for one hour. It turns out very successful and is a lovely cake. Otherwise it can be cooked in an oven. nzhel - 2017-11-24 12:23:00 |
| 4 | OK, that's great nzhel ... can you provide the links? Or recipes? bluetigerrr - 2017-11-24 12:31:00 |
| 5 | Oops - sorry bluetiger - meant to attach the link - duh!! nzhel - 2017-11-24 12:35:00 |
| 6 | Just in case, another recipe to look at..... Cathedral Cake (sometimes called Stained Glass Window Cake) 250g dates Chop pineapple and apricots into fairly large pieces; leave remaining fruit and nuts whole. Mix all well together. Beat eggs until thick and creamy, add sugar, vanilla, rum and soft butter, beating until combined. Stir in sifted flours and fruit and nut mixture.

| 7 | Oooooh ... terrific!!! Thanks so much for your link nzel and also valentino, for your written out recipe. Fabuloso :) Does anyone have any suggestions which ingredient would be best to substitute for the nuts ie brazil nuts and almonds? One of the intended consumers has a nut allergy. bluetigerrr - 2017-11-24 12:54:00 |
| 8 | I think you can almost put whatever fruit you like in it really, so you could omit the nuts and just replace their amounts with other dried fruits. nzhel - 2017-11-24 13:12:00 |
| 9 | OK nzhel - will do that ie get some papaya, peach slices etc I'm trying to find the Alison Holst recipe but cannot :( If you find it, could you post it? bluetigerrr - 2017-11-24 14:06:00 |

Here it is, from Alison Holst Cooking for Christmas book. Measure nuts, fruit and dry ingredients into a bowl, reserving some for decoration. Cut up large pieces of fruit but leave some long thin pieces if desired, especially if using mango. Mix eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined and add to other ingredients. Mix thoroughly by hand. Edited by nauru at 7:59 pm, Fri 24 Nov nauru - 2017-11-24 19:58:00 |
