The Fully Loaded Holiday Fruitcake Recipe
We have lots of food traditions around the holidays - and fruitcake is a big one! Love it or hate it fruitcake is here to stay. It's surprisingly simple to make and it turns out that it's a great gift for any fruitcake lovers in your life.
Check out the recipe below:
INGREDIENTS
1cup melted butter
5 eggs
1tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 cups AP flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 oz brandy (optional)
1 cup pitted prunes; chopped
1 cup dates; chopped
1cup apricots; chopped
1 cup pecans; broken up
1cup candied peel
1/2 cup candied ginger; chopped
Beat eggs, combine with melted butter and vanilla. In a separate bowl add dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder. Mix in wet ingredients and add brandy.
Mix the fruit into the batter and pour into a greased 10 cake pan. Bake at 325F (168C) for 1 1/2 hours. Once baked, let cool on a wire rack and poke holes in it with a skewer, and douse liberally with the liquor of choice (rum, brandy, etc). Wrap in tin foil and place in airtight container. Add liquor every week and age for 1 month.
The cake can be eaten right away, but we think that it gets better with age.
