Hint for Fruit Cakes
Dear Aunt Daisy, Have you ever tried putting a wee bit of curry powder in a rich fruit cake mixture? It does not taste at all in the cake, but brings out the flavour of the fruit, and the cake keeps indefinitely. The Christmas cake I make every year contains 244 Ibs. of mixed fruit, % Ib. of flour, and 6 eggs. For this cake I use just a little curry powder on the end of a teaspoon-really no more than a pinch. This hint was given to me a long time ago, and I have always used it with success-M.B, (Mission Bay, Auckland). Thank you very much for passing on your hint.
