Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Dried mixed fruit
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir into the dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in the dried mixed fruit and chopped nuts.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, wrap the fruitcake in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.
7. Slice and serve as a starter or dessert.
