when you've finished those you've got all these to do as well.

那些做完之後，這個也得做

Good morning.

早安

Today, we're making Lord and Lady Braybrooke's Christmas cake.

今天，我們將為巴雷布魯克老爺與夫人

I'm using one of my favourite plum cake recipes.

做聖誕蛋糕

It's got a lot of dried cherries in it.

我將會用我最喜歡的梅子蛋糕食譜

For this recipe you will need

而且裡面將會有很多的櫻桃乾

flour

根據食譜你將需要

butter

麵粉 (六百八十克)

fine sugar

牛油 (六百八十克)

dried cherries, chopped

砂糖 (四百五十克)

currants

切碎的櫻桃乾 (四百五十克)

candied peel

葡萄乾 (六百八十克)

ground almonds

糖漬橙皮 (六百八十克)

zest of oranges

杏仁粉 (兩百二十五克)

eggs

橙皮屑 (四顆)

spices

雞蛋 (八顆)

and brandy

香料 (十五克) - 肉桂粉、丁香粉、荳蔻粉

Now

和白蘭地 (二分之一品脫)

that I've softened the butter

現在

I'm going to add the flour

我正在把牛油弄軟

the sugar and the eggs gradually.

然後慢慢地把麵粉、

Sugar please.

砂糖和雞蛋加入進去

Flour.

請把砂糖傳給我

And the eggs.

麵粉

Thank you.

嗯，雞蛋

Now that's really well blended together,

謝謝

it's time to add the dried fruit.

現在全部已經攪拌完成

Candied peel.

是時候加入果脯了

Thank you.

糖漬橙皮

The currants.

謝謝

And now my favourite bit,

葡萄乾

the dried cherries.

以及我最喜歡的零食

Thank you.

櫻桃乾

It's time for the brandy.

謝謝

And the spice.

是時候加入白蘭地了

And the zest of oranges.

還有香料

And the last thing to go in are the ground almonds.

以及橘子皮屑

Now that the mix is done,

最後才加入杏仁粉

it's time to prepare the tin.

現在材料已經混合好之後，

I've already lined the tin with butter

是時候準備模具了

and now I'm going to line it with brown paper.

我已經用牛油把模具裡給塗滿了，

For the edges, I'm using double thickness of paper.

然後用烘焙紙做內襯

I've cut tabs at the bottom

我用兩層的烘培紙做模具的裡襯

to make it sit in the tin more evenly.

我在紙上剪了些缺口，

Not forgetting the lining of the bottom.

以讓它們可以完整的貼在模具裡

I'm going to add bands around the outside.

別忘掉下面的部分

Now it's ready for the mix.

我將會在模具外，箍一圈紙

And there,

現在倒入混合物

And there, now it's ready for the oven.

就這樣，

A low oven,

可以放入烤爐裡了

for about roughly six hours.

用低溫烤爐，

Now that the cake is out of the oven

大概烤個六小時

and thoroughly cool.

(六個小時)

I've made a band of marzipan

現在蛋糕已經出爐了，

put it around the top of the cake

而且已經徹底的冷卻

and turned it upside down.

我用杏仁軟糖捏成長條狀，

This gives a nice flat surface

然後貼在蛋糕邊

to start your decoration.

才把它翻過來

I've made my marzipan with twice the amount

這讓蛋糕有個平面

of icing sugar as ground almonds.

可以讓你裝飾

And then added eggs white

我杏仁軟糖的做法是用

until the mixture is a dough-like texture.

兩倍的糖霜與杏仁粉，

I've rolled it out fairly thin

然後加入用蛋白

and I'm actually going to put the marzipan on in two stages.

攪拌到出現麵團的觸感

This one is for the top.

我擀到剛剛好的厚度

I will cut off

我需要擀出兩張軟糖，

to give a sharp edge

而這張是用在上面的部分

and then have some more around the outside.

我將切掉，

I added a band of marzipan around the outside,

已得到整齊的邊緣

let it dry

就可以得到更多，做旁邊的部分

and then added a layer of royal icing.

我用杏仁軟糖貼在蛋糕外層

One layer for the top letting it dry

讓它乾

and then one for the outside.

然後塗上一層蛋白糖霜

My royal icing was made out

一層在上面，讓它乾

icing sugar, egg whites and lemon juice.

然後旁邊一層

I'm not too worried

我的蛋白糖霜是

about the air bubbles on the top

由糖粉，蛋清和檸檬做成的

after all for Lord and Lady Braybrooke

我並不怎麼擔心

I am a cook not a confectioner.

蛋糕上的氣泡

And anyway,

畢竟我只是巴雷布魯克老爺與夫人

I can disguise it with some of my decoration.

的廚師，並不是做糖果的

There,

不管怎樣，

to add a bit of festive color

我可以靠裝飾來蓋掉它們

I've added a piece of red ribbon.

您瞧，

For fashion for a Christmas cake

來增加些佳節顏色，

is to have a lovely Christmas

我加了一條紅色緞帶

message written on the top.

蛋糕上的樣式就是

May Christmas Joys fill your heart today.

寫一些有趣的聖誕祝賀語

But there,

❝願今日聖誕之悅充滿您的心❞

Merry Christmas

就這樣，
