Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 c.c vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, chopped apricots, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Flexible spatula
  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed just until combined.
  6. Fold in the dried fruit and nuts gently, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Slowly pour the orange juice over the batter and mix until fully incorporated.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To make it even moister, soak the dried fruit in orange juice for 30 minutes beforehand. This cake can be stored wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 5 days at room temperature or frozen for up to 3 months. Try decorating the top with nuts or fruit before baking for a beautiful presentation, and dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch!
