Moist Light Fruit Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups candied cherries
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup dried pineapple pieces
  • 1 cup blanched almonds
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of three hundred degrees Fahrenheit, or one fifty degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take two loaf pans and cover them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3
To prepare the ingredients, coat cherries, raisins, pineapple, and almonds with a generous amount of flour, utilizing one full cup.
4
Mix together sugar, butter, and eggs until they form a smooth and creamy consistency.
5
Add the remaining two and a half cups of flour, along with baking powder and salt, to your mixture.
6
Sift in any additional flavor extracts you may be using.
7
Mix the dried fruit and almond mixture into your batter, taking care not to overdo it.
8
Spoon the prepared batter evenly into the two loaf pans you've prepared earlier.
9
Place the cakes in a preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, allowing for one and a half to two hours of baking time.
10
Once the cakes are done, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and let them mature in a cool place for two to four weeks.
