Dundee is also the birthplace of British marmalade , thanks to the Keiller family, who are generally credited with making the first commercially available, breakfast preserve. As such, a pure and true Dundee cake will include the zest of an orange, thus linking it to the marmalade-making in the town.
This recipe includes a little of both, and so has quite a citrus tang to it. As this is also a Scottish cake, traditionally a malt whisky would be used to flavor the cake. However, if whisky is not your tipple, then feel free to use brandy or even sherry. Line an 8-inch cake pan with greaseproof paper or baking parchment and grease lightly with a little butter. Place the butter, sugar, and zest into a large bowl. Cream until light, smooth, and creamy using either a fork or electric hand whisk.
In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and mixed spice. Repeat until all the eggs and flour are used up. Add the raisins, citrus candied peel, and cherries if using to the mixture and stir well, but gently—you don't want to flatten the cake batter too much—until all the fruits are incorporated into the mixture.
Stir in the whisky using a spoon or spatula. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake pan and gently level the surface. Bake for another hour or until the cake is a deep, golden brown. Remove the cake from the oven and place onto a cooling rack, leaving the cake to cool in the pan.
Once cooled, remove from the pan, slice, serve, and enjoy. No matter what type of cake you are baking, it can incur certain problems , such as sinking in the middle. This may happen because the oven temperature is too low, which can be caused by opening the oven door or using an uncalibrated oven.
A sunken center can also be the result of a heavy movement outside the oven before the cake has had a chance to set. Recipe Tags:. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
