Ingredients for Fruit Cake:
- 2-3 cups of dried fruits and nuts
- 1 cup of butter
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1½ cups of plain flour
- 1½ tsp of baking powder
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
- ½ tsp of almond essence, optional
- ¼ cup of milk
How to Make a Fruit Cake:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C or 338°F, then line a 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar, then beat them for about 3 to 4 minutes until creamy, add the eggs, and beat them for an additional 1 minute just until incorporated.
Step 2
Scrape the sides, then sift over the flour and baking powder, and fold them until slightly combined. Add the vanilla extract and almond essence if using, then pour in the milk, and beat them for 20 seconds until well mixed.
Step 3
Add in the dried fruits and nuts, then fold them until evenly distributed, and transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Spread the batter evenly, then add more dried nuts or fruits on top, and place it in the preheated oven. Allow it to bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean, then serve, and enjoy!
