Description
Even though Christmas is over, but I decided to practice baking the Christmas cake. The site already has two of the recipe of this cake, but baked in the oven. Seeing the recipe for the cupcake Marina Marmeladen, I wanted to bake, but there it was necessary to turn the form in wet newspaper, cover with foil and bake on a low temperature for several hours. I wasn't sure that my oven is out. But as I have my assistant multivarka, I decided to search the Internet for the recipe of baking a Christmas cake in it. This recipe I found, thanks to Oksana Bystrikova, and she took it from the book Anna Kitaeva "I and my multivarka". This recipe of cupcake I liked the fact that it takes a sugar content less than in other recipes, and rightly so, because dried fruits and so themselves are very sweet. The process of baking the cake in multivarka very simple. Who have the assistant suggest to try to bake this cake for Christmas.

Cooking
Prepare the dried fruit. For this cupcake I took 50 g. dark and light raisins, 100 g of cherries, cranberries, dates (remove the seeds), prunes, candied fruits. Dried fruit wash, a big chop to the size of raisins.
Put the dried fruit in a jar with lid and pour a glass of alcohol, let stand for 1-6 days in the refrigerator turning occasionally jar so all is well soaked. Originally, the recipe was 0,5 of a glass of sherry, but it seemed to me that this is not enough, so I took 1 Cup. Actually I wanted to add more, since all the liquid was immediately absorbed into the dried fruit. You can use cognac, brandy, rum, balsam, sherry, some aromatic tincture.
Almonds and 5 tbsp (35 g) brown sugar grind in a coffee grinder. The photo shows what I have here is a hand "coffee grinder" because of this no, so I just rubbed in a mortar. It turned out the almond mixture.
Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves.
Beat butter with sugar until fluffy and increase the weight, add the eggs one by one. All products must be at room temperature.
Take 4 tbsp of flour mixture and add dried fruit, mix well.
Add in a bowl the flour and almond mixture, orange zest ( I had in the bag purchase), put the dried fruit, mix well, knead long.
Ready put the dough in a greased bowl multivarki ( I have to put on the bottom a double circle of baking paper). Put the mode "pastries" 1 hour 50 minutes, then turn the cake and bake for another 30 minutes. In my slow cooker for this mode, the temperature of 120 degrees.
The willingness of cake check wooden stick, it should be dry. During this time (2 h 20 min) our cupcake time to grilled.
It looks like the other side of the Christmas cupcake. 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp. of conditioner to mix and heat until the sugar is dissolved. To make the cupcake a lot of punctures and soak it with the syrup. To give the cake to cool completely, this is important!
The cooled cupcake wrap first in baking paper then in foil and plastic wrap. You can just wrap in plastic wrap. Now the cake must Mature. Stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 months.
Here he is in the cut. The cake is soft, fragrant and delicious. Anyone have a slow cooker I recommend to bake this Christmas cake, I think that the result will please you.
