CANDIED FRUITCAKE
I discovered that candied fruit likes getting soused with currants or dates, and that it isn't fussy about the medium: sherry, rum or Cognac all make it happy. And the trick to baking with it is simple: use the good stuff and use it judiciously. Fold just enough diced peel and choice cherries into a batter with chopped dates and spice and watch the tone and texture lighten up. No one would dream of calling this fruitcake.

THE BEST FRUITCAKE EVER WITH CANDIED FRUIT!
Even if it is not holiday season, I absolutely love fruit cake. It is spicy and hearty and makes me remember Christmas nights with my family. My mother used to make it but she would not teach me how to make it, so I tried a few and eventually got to this amazing easy fruit cake recipe with candied fruit that I absolutely love. I will tell you how to do it, though, so do not fret!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the marmalade together with the hot black tea and whiskey or orange juice until it had melted.
- Stir in all the candied fruit and peels and the dried fruit. Leave overnight to soak, covered by a tablecloth.
- Grease an 8 inch, deep cake tin with a loose bottom or line it and preheat oven to 280°F.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar until it is fluffy. If you use an electric mixer it will be easier.
- Add one egg at a time, making sure everything is well incorporated before moving on.
- Sift the flour and spices together and add them slowly to the mixture.
- Once everything is evenly mixed, fold in the lemon zest and soaked fruit, together with any liquid that was leftover. Save 2 tablespoons to make the topping.
- Bake for 1 hour. While it is in the oven we are going to make the topping. In a saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together.
- Add the nuts, seeds and candied fruit. Set it aside for the butter to cool and thicken.
- At the hour mark, take the cake out of the oven. It is not yet done and it will be soft. Do not worry about it sinking because it can take the weight without any problem.
- With a spoon, spread the 2 tablespoons of batter you had kept separate. Add the fruit and nut mix on top and put back in the oven to finish baking.
- You know it is done once a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Take it out and let cool.
- If it is underdone but the nuts are already golden, cover with foil and give it another 10 minutes before testing it again.
- ---------------------
- Once the cake has cooled down a bit but it is still warm, proceed to make the soak. Be sure to do this before nutty topping firms up, if not it will ruin the top of the cake, leaving holes all over. Also, be careful with the temperature of the soak. If it is too hot it will melt the topping.
- Using a skewer, poke holes in the cake all the way down to the bottom. This will allow the soak to penetrate the crumb.
- Dissolve the sugar in the hot tea and then add the whiskey or orange juice.
- Spoon the mixture over cake. You can keep it in an airtight container, away from the heat and sun, for a month.
- Once it is completely cool, you can loosen the tin and take the cake out. This will allow time for the nutty topping to firm up. Loosen any parts of it that are stuck to the tin before transferring it to a plate.

Steps:
- Combine the raisins, currants, apricots, figs, prunes, dates, walnuts, pecans, orange zest, lemon zest, candied ginger, pumpkin pie spice and cloves in a large bowl and toss to combine. Add 1 cup of the brandy, orange liqueur and molasses and stir to coat. Cover and set aside to macerate overnight. (Alternatively, cover the bowl and microwave 2 minutes, or until very hot. Leave covered and let sit until almost all the liquid has been absorbed into the fruit and nuts, about 2 hours.)
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Spray two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray and line each with 2 pieces of parchment, one lengthwise and one crosswise, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each side. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour over the soaked fruit mixture and toss to coat. Whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium-low and beat in the flour mixture until the batter is blended and smooth. Pour the batter over the fruit mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until all the fruit is coated in batter.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pans, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake until the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the pans, the tops spring back slightly when pressed and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a wire rack and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons brandy. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Carefully remove each cake from its pan using the parchment overhang and place on the rack to cool completely.
- To store, wrap each loaf tightly in plastic and then foil. The wrapped fruitcakes can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
