Steps to make Xmas Chocolate Fruit Cake Pt. 2:

1. Preparing the spice. - - Blitz cinnamon, cloves and allspice berries in a spice grinder until powder forms. - - Transfer into a small bowl. - - Grate in the nutmeg. - - Mix until well combined. - - Set aside.
2. Prepare the cake. - - Preheat oven to 150 degree celsius or 300 fahrenheit. - - Lightly grease loaf pan or cake pan with butter. - - Lined with parchment paper on the bottom as well as the sides. - - Run aluminium foil around the pan, cut and fold to create like a ring. - - Tie the aluminium foil with a thread. - - This is to prevent the cake from rising unevenly. Make sure the reflective side is facing towards out.
3. Melt 75g of butter in a skillet. - - Once the butter has melted and starts to "sing", keep a close eye on it, as it can go from browned to burn very fast. - - Once the "singing" has subsided, transfer into a coffee filter over a sieve and bowl. - - Set aside to cool down slightly. - - Weigh the browned butter, if it is under 75g, add any neutral oil to compensate.
4. Cream the remaining 75g of butter in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer. - - Cream until it is like mayo consistency. - - Add in the sugar. - - Continue creaming until everything is well combined, light and fluffy. - - Add in the ghee, eggs and the browned butter. - - Mix until well combined.
5. Add in the freshly ground spices. - - Mix until well combined. - - Sieve and fold in the 2 flour in 1/3 portions at a time. - - Sieve and fold in the cocoa powder in 1/3 portions at a time. - - Once everything has incorporated, add in lemon zest and juice. - - Add in the soaked fruits mix and Cointreau. - - Fold until well combined. - - Add in the nuts. - - Fold until well combined.
6. Transfer into the prepared cake or loaf pan. - - Wack into the oven and bake for 2hrs to 2.5 hrs or until it passes the skewer test. - - Check frequently after the 1.5 hr mark. - - Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely. - - Once cooled, unmold onto a shallow bowl. - - Add about 3 TBSP of Cointreau into a sauce pot. - - Using a blow torch, light up the Cointreau. - - Be very careful when doing this.
7. Pour the flambé liqueur over the cake. - - Once the flame has seized, set aside to cool down completely. - - Once cooled, wrap with parchment paper or cling film. - - Wrap another layer of aluminium foil. - - Keep it in a cool and dry place. - - You can feed the cake with 1 TBSP of liqueur once every week for as long as you desire. - - I fed mine for only 2 weeks. - - Slice and enjoy.
