Toss In Fruit Cake Recipe
Ingredients
To make a delicious fruit cake, you will need the following ingredients: two and a half cups of all-purpose flour, one and a half teaspoons of baking powder, one and a quarter teaspoons of baking soda, three-quarters of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, one and a half cups of granulated sugar, one cup of vegetable oil, three large eggs, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and one cup of diced fresh or frozen fruit (such as apples, peaches, or berries). Additionally, you will need one and a half cups of chopped nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans).
Instructions
To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon until combined. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Finally, fold in the diced fruit and nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and place in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Serving
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Slice and serve the cake warm, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
