Method of preparation:
Prepare the fruit for your cake by soaking it in a bowl of water or liqueur. Leave on overnight, and if you don't want to wait, put them in the microwave for 1 minute, then cover and leave for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and prepare two cake tins with a falling bottom with a diameter of 16 cm.
In a bowl, beat the butter with the sugar, salt, baking powder and spices. Add the eggs one by one, beating the previous one before each one to absorb the mixture well. Add the milk and gradually add the flour to get a smooth homogeneous mixture. Add the squeezed fruit and crushed nuts.
Divide the dough into four equal parts and bake 4 loaves separately. Bake each for 25-30 minutes, checking with a stick if it is ready. When there is no dough left on the stick, then the loaf is baked perfectly.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the mold, then transfer to a wire rack.
Slightly syrup the finished cake with brandy or other liqueur of your choice. Allow to cool completely while the others bake. Do the same with the next two swamps.
For the glaze: Beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add the cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the cake by alternating breadcrumbs and cream and finish with a generous amount of icing on top. Refrigerate overnight.
The day before serving the cake, prepare the fruit for decoration. Heat the water in a small saucepan and add the sugar. Beat until all the crystals dissolve and remove from the heat.
Put the blueberries in the syrup, cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.
Strain the blueberries through a sieve and roll them in sugar. Arrange on baking paper and allow to dry for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, garnish the cake with candied blueberries, if desired, add nuts or dried fruit.
Serve the cake to your guests and enjoy the fragrant spices and Christmas aroma, and if you have any of it left (which we doubt), you can put it away and store it in the refrigerator, covered with a lid, for at least a few days.
