Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of mixed dried fruits
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
-
In a bowl, combine the dried fruits and orange juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the fruits to absorb the juice.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and vegetable oil until well combined.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar and oil mixture, alternating with the soaked dried fruits. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the fruitcake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice and serve the fruitcake. Enjoy!
