In this issue, I will share with you the Rum Fruit Cake with rich taste and texture, the production process is not complicated, and the success rate is also very high! This cake is relatively chewy, full of dried fruits and pecans, and it is very enjoyable to eat. It’s so good to do it yourself! There is no alcoholic taste, and the rum cane sugar aroma and spice are perfectly combined. But after eating one piece, I can still feel the stamina of the 40% alcohol concentration. In addition to eating directly like this, you can also dress it up and decorate it at Christmas, it is a very Christmas atmosphere!
The Softening Of The Butter
The fluffy and softness of this cake are based on the physical foaming of the butter. Since baking powder is not used, it is a critical step to beat the butter well. Butter that is too hard won’t get in the air, and if it’s too soft, it won’t hold the air. Therefore, moderately softened butter is ideal. The beaten well butter will appear feathery and will look fluffy. The color will also turn white.
The Problem Of Oil-water Separation
Using cold eggs or adding all the eggs at once may cause the oil and water to separate. It is recommended to add only one egg at a time and then beat at low speed until the egg liquid and butter are completely emulsified before adding another egg. Each egg can be emulsified in about forty to fifty seconds after being beaten, and the texture of well-emulsified buttercream is very smooth.
