Juicy Fruit Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This delicious juicy fruit cake is made from a few simple ingredients. You will need the following things:
- 3 cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried fruit, such as raisins, currants or sultanas
- 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen fruit, such as apples, pears, or peaches
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans
Instructions
Let's get started on making this delicious juicy fruit cake! Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and there are no lumps.
Fold in the dried fruit, fresh or frozen fruit, and chopped nuts. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread it out evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the tin before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, it is ready to serve. Enjoy!
