Stir the flour into the yellow cream, then carefully fold in the stiff egg white foam (this step is key to lightness!).<br>Baking: Pour into a buttered, greased (or lined with baking paper) fruit cake tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C for approx. 15-20 minutes (pin test!). Let cool!<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christmas Cream (15 minutes cooking + cooling)<br>Pudding base: Mix the pudding powder, sugar and spice mixture with a little milk until smooth. The rest of the milk is boiled, then the pudding is added. It is cooked until thick, then removed from the heat.<br>Cooling: The pudding is covered (to prevent a skin) and cooled completely (to room temperature or slightly colder).<br>Mascarpone: The cooled, spiced pudding is mixed with the mascarpone or cream cheese with a whisk until smooth. This makes the cream light but stable.<br>Layering: The cream is smoothed into the hollow of the cooled sponge cake.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decoration and Jelly<br>Fruits: The chosen winter fruits are tastefully arranged on the cream (sprinkle a little pomegranate on top for color!).<br>Jelly: The cake jelly is prepared according to the instructions on the packaging (usually with water and sugar). Cool it a little (so that it is not hot, but still liquid), then carefully pour it over the fruits to coat them nicely.<br>Cooling: Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.<br>The mascarpone, spiced pudding cream makes this retro fruit cake really festive and light!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can I make a simple, quick Christmas spice mix recipe for it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy Christmas fruit cake is a perfect choice for the holiday menu, because a refreshing, frothy, fruity dessert is a real refreshment next to rich, heavy cakes.
