gardenmom5 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 and for someone to pat me on the back and say 'there there it will be okay'. thunk thunk thunk. . . . I am making my fruitcake. (even dudeling likes it) it calls for 1oz of lemon extract. I went to the basement to get three things and got distracted. the item that didn't get retrieved (and wasn't there anyway) was lemon extract. i *really* wasn't paying attention, and put 2T of peppermint flavor in my batter. at least I hadn't added it to the fruit/nut mixture. I figure I could experiment by adding chocolate chips and nuts instead (hey - chocolate comes from a bean . . . . ). . . . . but I've no idea how long to bake it. I normally use a tube pan for 2 1/2 hours but I want my tube pan for the real fruit cake. sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto10blessings Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oh I'm so sorry! I don't know how many times I have used cinnamon instead of chili powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You may have a culinary marvel in the works! (((Hugs))) I know how frustrating it is it put so much work into something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oh I'm so sorry! I don't know how many times I have used cinnamon instead of chili powder. I've just double checked that I didn't use chili powder as a topping for muffins :) To OP, there, there. It'll be okay. And if it isn't, you'll at least have a story! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So, how did it turn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oh, no Kirsten! there, there, there! Pat, pat, pat. Whatever happened? I probably would have dumped the dough and berated myself for a few years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Don't tell anyone, but I love fruitcake too. I only made it one time because it is so.much.work. Just use two loaf pans for the peppermint chocolate cake and bake it for an hour and it should be a delicious silver lining. You could probably use muffin tins for 20 minutes or layer cake pans for however long your favourite cookbook says to bake ordinary layer cakes for if you don't have loaf pans. So glad you caught it in time to save the fruit and nut mixture! Yipes! That was a close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 :grouphug: :grouphug: Sometimes mistakes turn out better than the original plan. I hope that turns out to be the case here. " Me too! But I'm figuring there's a reason when I do a search for "Peppermint Fruit Cake" there are very few hits, and none of them recipes. :crying: If it happened to me I'd need a hug too. My fruitcake recipe has 16 eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
