Ingredients for decorating the cake:

Method:
• Take the filtered semolina in a utensil and mix cinnamon powder, butter, and sugar in it. Stir well.
• Now add sugar syrup, marmalade, and vanilla essence, and keep beating till the mixture blossoms. Keep beating and add eggs and dried fruits to it.
• Set the oven from 150 degrees to 0 degrees and cover the base of the bowl you are going to bake the cake in.
• Now put the batter in the bowl and keep it in the oven to bake.
• Keep checking the cake at intervals.
• For checking, insert a knife inside the cake. If the matter of the cake sticks in the knife, it’s not baked properly. When the knife comes out clean, it has been baked.
• When baked, take the cake out, make small cuts in it, and pour brandy in these cuts.
• Decorate it with the dried fruits. Sprinkle icing sugar on it.
• Now spread apple jam on the cake and coat it with marzipan. Sprinkle lemon juice from above.
• Your Christmas cake is ready.
