Ingredients

1 cup mixed dried fruits (like raisins, currants, and cranberries)
1 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, alternating with the orange juice. Mix well until combined.
Fold in the mixed dried fruits and chopped nuts into the batter. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the icing, you can whip up a simple glaze with powdered sugar and a bit of milk or orange juice to drizzle on top once the cake is cooled.

And there you have it! A classic fruit cake that is sure to impress. Serve it up at your next family gathering or holiday celebration, and watch how it disappears. Enjoy, y’all!
