title says it all...want to make a fruit cake for my birthday... until now I have always used a shop bought base but thought it should be quite simple to do that myself.

many thanks

do you mean a biscuit base like for a cheesecake?

Sonilaa · 11/05/2010 09:55

no more like a sponge

I'm confused, sponge cakes don't have a biscuit base.
Do you mean a fruit cake like a christmas cake?

Sonilaa · 11/05/2010 10:06

it seems I am confused as well... I mean a sponge base (which is called bisquit base in my language)

sorry for that!

ok im even more confused

i have never seen a fruit cake with a sponge base either

Do you mean like a fruit flan?

VoulezVouzCrochezAvecJACK · 11/05/2010 10:14

Do you mean like this, which is a victoria sponge or this which is a fruit flan
I had a feeling there was a language barrier going on

I want do cover the the sponge base with custard, put on fresh fruit and glaze with thickened fruit juice.

Google Fruit Flan recipe for more recipes, I've never made one myself TBH but seems fairly simple.

Sonilaa, I make it like this:

Basic sponge recipe like this cooked in a wide metal flan dish

Topped with confectioner's custard (creme patisserie)like this

Topped with fruit eg redcurrants, and icing sugar.
