Quick Method, no alcohol, no marinating, no egg almond icing and still bake a juicy #srilankanweddingcake. This is the same Sri Lankan fruit cake also known as 'Rich Cake' or 'Fruit Cake' used as Christmas cake.

Easiest way to make everyone's favorite treat, the Sri Lankan wedding cake!
Sri Lanka wedding cake is a pricy treat reserved for two major special occasions in Sri Lanka; Weddings and Christmas. Sometimes it can be made to celebrate a wedding anniversary too. Some couples would save a few pieces of their wedding cake to have on their 1st wedding anniversary! This cake is a contribution by the Burgher community to Sri Lankan cuisine. Often, the Burghers are credited with making the best Sri Lankan fruit cake and many other Euro-Asian foods. This cake too comes from my Dutch-Burgher family and have been passed around by many family and extended family.

In this recipe for Sri Lankan Wedding Cake, I have left out the spices such as All Spice, clove powder and reduced the cinnamon powder to make it less of a Christmas cake and more like a wedding cake. I have also substituted pumpkin preserves, chow chow, sultanas, golden syrup etc which are typical ingredients available in Sri Lanka for this exotic wedding cake which is also called Rich Cake and Fruit Cake.
In this video I have shared everything I learned from years of baking and from my mother's recipes. Your wedding cake will surely come out fantastic if you follow these tips shown in this video and in my Sri Lankan Christmas cake recipe videos @AasaiRasaiRecipes .

Tips:
*Use dried fruit and nuts that are locally available to you.
*If using raisins, avoid sultanas as it makes the cake sour.
*Golden syrup can be substituted with Maple Syrup or any sweet syrup.
*Pumpkin preserves can be substituted with dried or candied pineapple.
*To substitute chow chow, increase the quantity of cherries and other fruit.
*To line the cake pan, use thick brown paper and foil (as shown in this video) instead of parchment paper and oil/wax paper.
*Substitute butter with margarine if needed
*If the cake mixture is dry, add a little milk to make it the right consistency
*Due to the prolonged bake time, the cake must have enough moisture. If the cake mixture is too firm before baking, it will turn out dry and crusty when baked.
*Chop the fruit in a blender to reduce prep time
