Dundee Cake is a traditional Scottish fruitcake that's often associated with the city of Dundee.
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 50 g roasted almonds, chopped
- 150 g raisins
- 150 g sultanas
- 225 g all-purpose flour
- 45 g almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 5 tablespoons marmalade
- orange
- lemon
- 175 vegan butter
- 175 light brown sugar
- 3 large free-range eggs
To Garnish
- whole-blanched almonds
Method
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This helps the eggs to not curdle when you mix them.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl and gently fold them into the mixture until well combined.
- Add the mixed dried fruit, chopped roasted almonds, and citrus zest. Mix well to distribute the fruit and nuts evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Arrange a few additional whole-blanched almonds on top of the batter for decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the cake is browning too quickly, cover it with foil during the last part of baking.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Scottish Dundee Cake!
