I don't cream butter as I love cooking/baking/entertaining but I am really busy and like to make cakes that are quick- I tasted a melt butter fruitcake recently and it was lovely. If all fails I will do the creaming thing- was hoping someone might have had a melt one.....

I know this following recipe does needing creaming Katalin, but it's excellent, an Alison Holst, and I make three of them every Christmas cos my husband is such a guts and loves it, and I have made these for all my girls' weddings, doubled etc the quantities and made three tiers. It's so yummy. I don't ice it for a Christmas cake, just put cherries and nuts over it before I bake, but for the wedding cakes had them iced professionally, and they were superb I have to say.

thanks Brianmac love cakes where you don't cream... have in fact made Alison Holst's Love Cake- called that cos you only make it for people you love- takes 3 days...and yes, do have to cream butter... and it has 2 cups of ground almonds in it as well as SR flour and the fruit soaked in brandy... sounds yum. But will try above recipe too.

katalin2 do you have a food processor? no creaming fruit cake:- 1kg fruit cake mix,1/2 cup liquid - I use gingerale,200g butter,2c flour, 1 cup sugar, tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt,1/4 golden syrup,1/2 milk, 2 sz 7 eggs, Soak fruit in liquid overnight in seald bowl - or ziplock bag.In food processor put flour, butter,baking soda,salt and sugar - pulse until fine crumbs. warm milk and syrup until both just combined, beat in eggs then add in fruit mix and dry ingredients and mix well - DON'T DO THIS IN THE PROCESSOR. Bae in well lined 20cm tin for 21/4 hours @150C

the above fruit cake is very easy and I have taken it one step further - I actually melt the butter - I skip the food processor bit altogether - mind you I very rarely follow a recipe and make them up as I go - I kinda just look at the idea and fix it up to suit myself

thanks shula2, yes I do have a food processor- and I also usually melt butter rather than cream... will try your cake it looks delish... have now tried out several including a condensed milk one from another thread - I changed it around- soaked the fruit in earl grey tea first, it is beautiful.
My family is extremely grateful to be trying out all these lovely fruitcakes as these days I don't have time to bake every week...nice to be told "you are being a real mother again..."
