CHRISTMAS CAKE RECIPE

[lunadefledermaus]

What if you want to taste the chocolate? Is that a bad thing? I love chocolate and cherries.

[auntylulubulu]

You a genie or what. Lovely recipe.Just purchased some fruit. Will try it out today. Would it work if the mix was kept outside the refrigerator? Merry Xmas

[cherrygurl592]

I luv ya vids but I like to take the easy way out cant I just buy a cake? Or would the taste be any different!

[babi3italia]

@robjnixon Hi love this recipe and I'll definitely make this on Christmas, so I wonder 1 thing..can I use just milk and cocoa instead chocolate milk?? unfortunately in my town I can't fint chocolate milk :(( Sorry for my bad English,not from USA or UK..thanks for all youre recipe love your channel ! <3

[seygra20]

@babi3italia Plain milk mixed with chocolate syrup makes chocolate milk

[wca1234]

Can I replace cherry brandy with sherry?

[Wolta]

Chocolate flavored milk? Can i just use chocolate milk? Is it the same?

[MrMrsfranck]

very good clap clap.. i really love your videos.. you should have your own TV show ;) thanks for sharing your talents!

[OnWingsOfGrace]

Cherries and chocolate go so well together. I tend to leave out the nuts though since my hubby tends not to like them. I just make up the difference with more fruit or some marmalade.

[elsie123val]

Delicious cake. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from El Salvador

[09ilovechocolate]

im favriting all crismas vidios for food

[johnrhev]

is yes

[tpoore100]

looks and sounds like a fruitcake to me

[lilprecious14w]

lol nice old theme song

[Lassionbabe]

Would this one be good with some chocolate flavored soy milk?

[Raptik666]

sugar =/= fat

sugar = carbs

[yan55728]

i love the way you explain....makes it real easy to follow... love your recipe;-)

[naruto14271]

can we replace de cherry brandy with cherry juice...fresh

[Dianaluvsfood]

@naruto14271

you can either replace it or you dont even have add any :)

[arteditors]

although i like your recipes this one is not a christmas cake. not because of the milk but because of the very very short shelf life it has. they are supposed to be soaked in alcohol in order to keep them indefinitely. best regards from cyprus

[goodladies984]

I ALWAYS WONDER when You make Cakes Or Cupcakes and stuff like that.

I would Wonder- Where is the cake Mix!?!?!

[samwri1984]

Great cake and fab tutorial!! Im going to make my dad one of these thanks xx

[bbrofl]

can you use normal milk in replacing the chocolate one?

[PhillyRicanNorth]

kool video im baking one for my sis thks giving dinner thks !

[SimpliztixX]

You give me a fruitcake for a present I'll punch you.

[colinoneel]

Can I use regular milk with some cocoa powder?

[colinoneel]

Can I use regular milk?

[derekbegins]

._. i dislike dried fruits so.. i'll pass but it sure looks delicious!

[payish]

this indeed is a gr8 recipe 4 a veggie like me...would luv to make it,but have few ques in my mind...for one cup all purpose flour i need to put 1 1/2 tsp. or tbsp. of baking powder? and what abt. sugar?

[darksinger13]

lol what if i want to tast the chocolate lols

[andrewtwu9]

Is it okay if some almonds and pistachios get in on the mix? and instead of Cherry Brandy for the spice, can I put cinnamon instead?

[andrewtwu9]

Oh and what are some other things you can use instead of Cherry Brandy?

[PhonyTony]

I just put it in the oven! Can't wait!

[nomione1]

Is the cherry brandy important part of the recipe ?

[robjnixon]

no, you can leave it out completely :)

[carljohnson26101985]

@nomione1 you can substitute Cherry Brandy with Rum

[acmulhern]

@nomione1 only if you don't think that a christmas cake should be so boozy that it should knock your socks off

[bubbles91591]

I Love Your Cooking :D

xox

Take Care 2!

Merry Christmas!

[robjnixon]

thanks! you to :)

[BELTED007]

Hey Rob just thought I'd let you know I bought the ingredients for this recipe today except the chocky milk. I will be making this on Sunday for Tony. Really excited to see what it's like! :O)

[robjnixon]

cool, let us know how it goes :)

[Katypillar713]

Wow, I have never in my life seen a christmas cake recipe using chocolate milk and I make one almost every year. I was going to skip this year, as there are only going to be a few of us this christmas, but this looks so eay, I will make it using about a third of the measurements. Thanks Nicko =D

Also, would you consider making a video for a gingerbread house, but with cinnamon biscuit instead of gingerbread? I haven't made one before so I need a recipe from a source I can trust =) Thanks

[dongyonion]

YUM

[Jedibron]

I also never heard of christmas cake.

[robjnixon]

just think fruit cake

[Jedibron]

Honestly I have never had a fruit cake lol.

[Makron5]

Next time you say aluminum or aluminium, say "Whichever you have." rather than note that they are the same thing. This will probably lead to a couple people wondering where they can get Aluminium in America and that would be hilarious.

[ericablanchard]

Looks frickin' amazing! I may have to try that! ;) Merry Christmas Nicko!

[robjnixon]

thanks Erica, how have you been!?

[ericablanchard]

:) Well, ya know, had our ups and downs lately, but doing pretty good. We're leaving to spend the holidays with my better half's family tomorrow night, so that will be fun!

[LenaleeRose]

it looks so delicious.. *_*

thanks~ <3

[angelpassedby09]

looks sooo yummy!!!!!

[robjnixon]

thanks for watching :)

[ArtisticLana]

Is the cake dry when you eat it?

Chewy? Soft? I would really like

to know before I make this cake.'

Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[robjnixon]

this cake is no where near dry :) very moist, soft but not chewy. Hope this helps

[revvluckycharms]

Hey Nicko, great vid as usual! :D Just wanted to ask if the cake rises alot while it's baking? I'm planning to make cupcakes with this recipe so was just wondering how much I should fill the liners..

[robjnixon]

I would fill them half way :) it does rise, good luck!

[revvluckycharms]

Thankew! :)

[Proskater648]

Jeez... That's better than IHOP.. Or that Walmart fruit cake that tasted nasty :D, nice cooking and Happy Christmas with your baby!

[robjnixon]

thanks heaps :)

[120pure021]

i would not eat it becuase i cant eat that stuff ... but your real good SUBBED =]

[robjnixon]

oh thats no good :( but thanks for subbing

[BELTED007]

Now that was brilliant Nicko!! Tony will love this and I will enjoy making it because it is no fuss! What a blessing this recipe was for me mate! 5 Stars and faved . Love ya! xoxoxox

[robjnixon]

thanks Trace :) glad you liked it

[ciscokitty8]

how do you eat all the stuff you make? :p

[robjnixon]

I dont live by myself, and there are always people around.....this cake I gave to a friends family

[ciscokitty8]

@robjnixon ooohhh....i'd love to try some of your recipes lol :-). but most of that stuff i've never cooked before and i'm afraid it'll go badly wrong (it has happened to me before, once when i was making cookies i accidentally mistok salt for sugar...freakin nasty results lol)

[hanna4292]

yum

[gezzaky]

wait if you said there wouldn't be chocolate taste can I use normal milk?

[robjnixon]

yeah you could :) but it will be a very light (as in color) cake

[ankanyeah]

Nicko , i´m from sweden and i got some question . Can i use some regular flour instead ?

[robjnixon]

yes, just make sure you add baking powder to the mix. About 3 tbls will do. If you dont add it, it wont rise :)

[joemunkey30]

not FRUIT XD

[robjnixon]

choc chips? lol

[jesi2005]

this looks very nic

[robjnixon]

thanks for watching :)

[jami3r00]

a recipe iv always used, at the end you put dates and almonds on the top, then make a glaze out of apricot jam/jelly and brush it over. Yum =]

[robjnixon]

YUMMO!

[sk8eroz]

gonna make it for my school project!!!!!!

[robjnixon]

awesome! let me know how you go :)

[IHeartParamore13]

Do you HAVE to sue the brandy? can i just not use it?

[robjnixon]

no, you can leave it out :)

[IHeartParamore13]

YAY thanks for letting me know

[IHeartParamore13]

I meant use, not sue, btw

[usafireandrescue]

Yummy Nicko! Looks wonderful!  Merry Christmas!!

[robjnixon]

Thanks Amy! got a few more Xmas vids coming, you doing any? :)

[usafireandrescue]

Hi Nicko! I shot a Xmas vid last week. It's still in the camera, ha ha. I'm really slacking, huh? :-) Big hugs to you and your family!

[robjnixon]

haha I get like that :) xoxox

[andrewtwu9]

What's the difference between self rising flour, and just regular flour? Because I live in Taiwan, so if I buy the ingredients, they'll be in Chinese and I'm afraid of getting the wrong flour. Would regular flour ruin it?

[mikeptman]

self rising flour is exactly the same as regular only it has salt and baking powder already mixed in. For every cup of regular flour just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Hope this Helps

[robjnixon]

thanks Mike :)

[cbenally82]

this looks so easy that i can do this :) imma try, looks good too

[LetsBeCreative]

this looks very nice. Do want

[eurodestination]

Great, I just hope Fat Aussie Barstard hasn't paid a visit already.

[robjnixon]

FAB has yet to fulfill his agreement.........lol

[Brian567899]

O>>>M>>>G! That looks so good im going to make it today and then im ganna invent a chanuka cake lol

[christinatziom]

[robjnixon]

[GaTes1LgD]

You have a great Christmas Nicho. Thanks for the videos!

[robjnixon]

thanks, right back at ya :)

[MrCandyxx]

what condiments would you reccomend

[robjnixon]

custard....lotsa custard :)

[pokemonfan200]

nicko once the cake is done could you allways add more brandy on top of the cake

[robjnixon]

sure, adding some glazed pineapple would be nice too

[katuray33]

your always hmmmm..yummy

[robjnixon]

thanks :)

[SoulofPhoenix]

GIVE ME THAT CAAAAAKE! lol

[robjnixon]

haha will send it too ya :)

[xiaocurrypuff]

I wanna ask. The cookie and cream ice cream that u made? What should i put in instead if i want it in strawberry?

thx=)

[robjnixon]

I would replace the chocolate with a strawberry reduction - just put strawberries in a pot with some lemon juice and sugar over a low heat, the strawberries will soften and you will be able to much them into a thick sauce. Leave it to cool and follow the same steps :)

[SmartmanChris]

You reckon it serves 20. It only serves one..........ME !!!  :-)

Merry Christmas to you Nicko.

[robjnixon]

hahaha yeah, I have extra too haha. Seasons greetings right back at ya buddy

[robjnixon]

thats great! glad you liked em :)

[robertorivera987]

i think i'll try it!

[robjnixon]

it is very nice :)

[RockyWhyNot]

Well I'll be damned, never woulda thought of using chocolate milk! That looks just beautiful, Nicko...I wanna try this asap.

Thanx!

~Tammi~

[robjnixon]

[sherbetgirl]

What a fabulous recipe.

Shame I hate cooking. LOL

You make it all look so easy.

[robjnixon]

lol it is easy haha :)

[xFABKRIS]

Will it be okay to use all purpose flour instead of self rising? Let me know (:

[robjnixon]

yeah, just add a couple tbls of baking powder :)

[GrahamAndFriends]

yum

[robjnixon]

thanks Graham :) you feeling better?

[GrahamAndFriends]

[vmslp]

This looks like a fruitcake I would actually eat.

[robjnixon]

great :) thanks for watching!

[tbhasker]

That looks amazing! I'm definitely making this on Christmas day!

Happy Holidays! :)

[robjnixon]

thanks, same to you :)

[LalaChick30]

im defineatly trying this :) nice job!!

GO AUSSIES!!! :)

[robjnixon]

awesome, let me know what you think :)

[brettbeatnick]

Very similar to my mothers recipe, but she doesnt do the chocolate milk step. She simmers the fruit with rum, water and a few other things instead (simmering probably shortens the soak time). Looks very similar though.

[robjnixon]

nice :) thanks for watching

[bladez0rz23]

nice cake nicko

will be making this for xmas

aussie cakes ftw

[robjnixon]

awesome, let me know how you go with it :)

[f11rob]

Merry Christmas Robjnixon. Great Cake and video!

[robjnixon]

[Rellestiria]

Oh wow my parents always go and buy a ton of these, wasting their money but now I know that making it is so much cheaper! and it looked GREAT! =D

[robjnixon]

thanks, so much better than the bought ones. And you can make heaps of these :) thanks for watching!

[Doomedlight]

Ham is all I need for Christmas :D

[robjnixon]

Ham is yum, but you gotta have more than that mate haha

[canityounitt]
