Tammy’s Christmas Fruitcake (New Recipe is not in our Cookbooks)
For the Cake:
2 CUPS BUTTER
2 CUPS PACKED BROWN SUGAR
6 LARGE EGGS
2 TSP. APPLE PIE SPICE (PENZEY’S)
2 2/3 CUP SELF-RISING FLOUR (WHITE LILY)
1/2 CUP GRAPE JUICE
3 TBSP. VANILLA EXTRACT
3 1/2 CUPS CANDIED FRUIT
10 OZ. CHOPPED DATES
4 CUPS CHOPPED PECANS
Read the entire recipe before beginning. Do not
preheat the oven!
In a mixer mix the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add
eggs one at a time, beating in between.
Add Apple pie spice and vanilla extract. Add grape
juice and mix well. Add flour and beat for 2 minutes
on medium speed.
In a separate bowl add 1/3 CUP FLOUR then add your
fruit and mix until fruit is coated well with flour. Add
pecans and dates and mix well. Pour batter into bowl
with fruit and nuts. Mix well.
Spray pans with baking spray and fill 3/4 full of
batter. Put cake in a cold oven and then put on Bake
at 350 degrees and bake 30 minutes. Turn oven to
250 degrees and bake for 2-4 hours. Cook time will
vary depending on size and depth of cake. Cake must
be done before topping with fruit. After you top cake
cook another 30 minutes for pecans to toast.
For pecan and fruit topping:
JELLY OR MARMALADE (8OZ.) 1-2 CUPS OF LARGE
MIXED COLORED CANDIED FRUITS (YOUR CHOICE) I
LIKE RED AND GREEN CHERRIES.
4 CUPS OF WHOLE PECANS
Heat jelly (your choice apple or orange marmalade)
in a non-stick small pot or skillet.
Pour over fruit and mix until fruit and nuts are coated
well.
My choice of fruits:
8 oz. FRUIT AND PEEL OLD ENGLISH MIX OR EXTRA
FANCY (THESE ARE CHOPPED SMALL) (1 CUP)
8 OZ. TROPICAL MIX (1 CUP)
8 OZ. MIXED PINEAPPLE AND CHERRIES (HALF THESE)
10 OZ. CHOPPED DATES
TIPS:
WHEN YOU BUY FRUIT AND NUTS GET PLENTY FOR
TOP OF CAKES TOO!
DO NOT PLACE TOPPING ON CAKE BEFORE IT IS SET
IN MIDDLE OR IT WILL SINK DOWN INTO THE CAKE.
DO NOT USE OLD ENGLISH FRUIT UNLESS YOU TASTE
AND MAKE SURE YOU LIKE THE CITRON AND FRUITS,
REPLACE WITH OTHER MIXED FRUITS IF YOU DO NOT
LIKE IT.

In two steps we can make this super moist fruit cake batter.
Step1:
Boil the dry fruits in a sauce pan with butter sugar and water.
Step2:
Add all the rest of ingredients into this saucepan after its cooled.
Step3:
Bake the fruit cake @ 320 F for 75-90 minutes.

Christmas Cake Recipe - Easy Fruit Cake that's beautifully moist!
An easy Christmas cake that turns out perfect every time. No creaming, beating or soaking of fruit required! Plus tips on storage and feeding your Christmas cake.
Feeding your fruit cake in the weeks leading up to Christmas helps to build and intensify the flavour of the cake, and will ensure it's beautifully moist.
Oven Temp:
Bake in the oven at 150C/300F (fan) for 45 minutes, then 140C/275F (fan) for a further 60-75 minutes - until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Alcohol-free Christmas Cake:
For a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the alcohol with cold tea, fresh orange or apple juice.
You can then feed the cake with either:
1. Cold tea
2. Fresh orange or apple juice
3. Ginger cordial mixed with water (2 tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water)
4. Rum flavouring mixed with water (⅛ tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water).
If you do this, don’t make the cake any earlier than November, as juice (as opposed to alcohol) could start tasting funny after more than a couple of months.
The full Christmas cake recipe is available on our site:
The easy fruit cake ingredients:
3/4 cup (175g) unsalted butter, chopped
1 packed cup (210g) light brown muscavado sugar
2 + 2/3 cups (400g) mixed dried fruit
1 cup (200g) glacé cherries roughly chopped
1 cup (100g) dried cranberries
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup (120ml) cherry brandy
1/2 cup (85g) ground almonds (coarsely ground - not the type that is like flour)
3 large eggs lightly whisked
1 + 2/3 cup (200g) plain/all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
To feed the Christmas cake:
Cherry brandy (1-2 tbsp per week)

Old Fashioned FRUIT CAKE Recipe! Dark CHRISTMAS Fruit Cake From 1955!
This old fashioned fruit cake comes from the Good Housekeeping Cook Book which is from 1955.
1 cup currants
3 cups raisins (we used both regular and golden)
½ cup diced preserved orange peel
½ cup diced preserved lemon peel
1 ½ cups diced preserved citron
1 cup halved candied cherries
1 cup diced preserved pineapple
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup blanched almonds cut lengthwise
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 TSP nutmeg
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 ½ tsp cloves
½ TSP baking soda
1 cup soft shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 eggs, separated
½ square unsweetened chocolate, melted (we used a ¼ ounce)
¼ cup fresh, frozen, or canned lemon juice
¼ cup orange juice
Thoroughly grease a 3 ½” deep 9” or 4” deep 10” tube pan. Cut parchment paper to fit bottom and sides of pan. Line pan with more parchment paper (be sure paper fits snugly) and lightly grease paper. Or use aluminum foil without greasing.
In large bowl, combine currents, raisins, orage peel, lemon peel, citron, cherries, pineapple, almonds, and pecans. Toss with 1 cup of the flour until everything is thoroughly coated. Start heating oven to 300F. Sift remaining 1 cup flour with spices and baking soda.
In mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks. Set aside in another bowl.
Cream shortening and brown sugar together in mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each one is added. Add melted chocolate. At low speed, alternatively add flour mixture with lemon and orange juices. When mixture is thoroughly blended, stir by hand into fruit and nut mixture. Fold egg whites into mixture. Turn into tube pan and bake for about 2 hours and 20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely in pan; remove paper (or foil) and then wrap tightly in either waxed paper, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil, then refrigerate. If desired, brush occasionally with fruit juice, cider, port, sherry, or brandy. Or you may saturate a cloth with brandy and wrap cake in it first. A home freezer or refrigerator-freezer combination is ideal for storing fruitcake, just be sure cake is freezer wrapped.
