FRUITCAKE WITH TROPICAL FRUIT
incredible fruitcake. Found the recipe online and made it cause it used tropical fruit. This is insanely delicious. Cake will not last till Christmas. Do plan on putting a marzipan icing on top after finished a few weeks of basting cake with rum.

Steps:
- 1. 1. Cut up any large pieces of dried fruit, they should all be no larger than one inch cubes. Put all the dried fruit (not apple or lemon) in a large bowl, add half the rum or other spirit, cover with a clean cloth and leave overnight.
- 2. 2. Grease then line an 8in cake tin (pan) with a double layer of greaseproof (wax) paper, grease the paper. Preheat oven to 150 deg C (300 deg F).
- 3. 3. Mix the lemon rind and juice with the grated apple then stir it and the chopped almonds into the dried fruit mixture. Sieve (strain) the flour and spices together.
- 4. 4. Cream the butter, brown sugar and molasses together - it's easiest to do this with an electric mixer until relatively lighter in colour and fluffier.
- 5. 5. Gradually beat in the eggs then fold in the sieved flour and spices. Again do this gradually, a bit at a time.
- 6. 6. Stir the dried fruit, nuts and apple into the cake mixture.
- 7. 7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared cake tin (pan) and bake for about 2 hours 30 minutes. A skewer or fine bladed knife should come out clean when it is done. If the top of the cake is browning too fast, cover it with foil for the last 15 to 20 minutes. When it's cooked, leave to cool in the cake tin.
- 8. 8. When it's cold, make holes in the cake with a skewer or fine bladed knife and use the remaining rum to pour into the cake.
- 9. 9. Wrap it in greaseproof paper then store in an airtight container. In a cool, dry place, it should keep for at least 6 weeks.
- 10. 10. You can cover with marzipan and then icing in the traditional way.
- 11. NOTE: The baking time says about 2 1/2 hours in the original recipe. Mine was done in 2 hours and that was a convection oven. Good thing I checked when I did as it had already was starting to overcook around the edges. So just be careful of the time is the only thing.

THE BEST FRUITCAKE
Fruitcakes have become the punchline of many a holiday joke, but this recipe will give the notorious seasonal gift a whole new reputation. Filled with loads of real dried fruit and nuts along with brandy, warm spices and citrus, this cake tastes like the holidays. The recipe makes two loaves so you can gift one.

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.

FANTASTIC BANANA FRUITCAKE
This cake is very moist, it is the ultimate in fruit cakes, I think it's the pureed banana, along with the pineapple, that makes this fruit cake so extra special. Make sure that the crushed pineapple is very well drained before adding to batter, also this fruit cake can be succesfully baked in mini loaf pans (just cut down baking time), these cakes freeze well, and also taste better when left until the following day.

TROPICAL FRUITCAKE
My aunt used to make this every Christmas. It is a different fruit cake as everything goes in whole and it is mostly all fruit and nuts; very little batter. When you cut a slice you get a whole slice of whatever is there. It is very good. It is a small cake, the size of one loaf pan.

Steps:
- Mix all of the butter, sweeteners, oil, juice and extracts in a large enough bowl to fold in the fruit, and add the fruit and pumpkin seeds.
- Stir well and let sit while you sift the flour with the soda and spices, and oil your pans.
- Line pans with parchment paper.
- Add the flour mixture and stir enough to be sure no flour remains dry. Distribute into the pans.
- Cook at 325°F for approximately 35 minutes, check with a toothpick at 30 minutes.
- When the toothpick comes out just barely moist, remove the pans to a rack to cool for 15 minutes, then decant them and let cool in the paper another 15 minutes. Peel and wrap tightly and store in refrigerator or tin, if you wish to add alcohol. I would suggest light rum if you must :)This will remain moist for several days if kept refrigerated.
