Equipment
- A large mixing bowl
- A wooden spoon or electric mixer
- A loaf pan (9×5 inches)
- Parchment paper
- A cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Almonds chopped
- 1 cup Pecans chopped
- 1/2 cup Dried cherries
- 1/2 cup Dried apricots chopped
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 tbsp Orange zest
Instructions
Preparing the Batter
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Press parchment paper into the loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract after combining each egg separately.
- Stir just until combined after gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet.
- Fold in almonds, pecans, cherries, apricots, raisins, and orange zest.
Baking the Fruitcake
- Using a spatula, level the top of the batter once it has been poured into the pan.
- Bake for about 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After 10 minutes of cooling in the pan, move the cake to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Storage: Wrap your fruitcake in foil or plastic wrap, and keep it in an airtight container. It tastes even better after a day or two, as the flavors meld together.
- Customizing: Feel free to swap out nuts and dried fruits based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
