Re: Fruit Cake always crack on top
Mmm, never steamed a fruit cake, as such. However when baking if the tin/pan is too small for the amount of mixture it is liable to crack. check recipe for correct pan size.
Are you using baking powder? try cutting it back a bit, so as not so much rise.
Post your recipe,we can give more help.
