Never in a million years did I think fruit cake would make it to my top 10 favourite cakes of all time! I literally despised fruit cake growing up, always finding it too dry or having too many sultanas. UNTIL I developed this super moist fruit cake recipe that is packed with fruit, nuts, dates and so much more!

INGREDIENTS LIST:

For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.

Fruit Cake
▢¾ cups (170 g) unsalted butter
▢¾ cups (150 g) soft brown sugar
▢2 cups (350 g) dried fruits - I used a combination of sultanas, raisins, currants, red and green glace cherries and citrus peel (see note 1 on blog post)
▢½ cup (100 g) dates - pitted and cut into small pieces, see note 2 on blog post
▢⅔ cups (166 g) store bought sweetened orange juice - like Just Juice, Tropicana etc.
▢1½ tbsp orange zest - the zest of about 1 medium sized orange. The juice of the orange will be used later in the syrup.
▢2 tbsp (36 g) molasses
▢1¾ cups (210 g) all purpose flour
▢1½ tsps baking powder
▢½ tsp salt
▢1½ tsps cinnamon powder
▢½ tsp ground ginger powder
▢¼ tsp nutmeg
▢1 tsp all spice
▢¼ cup (52 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola oil
▢3 large eggs
▢1 cup (100 g) walnuts - halved

Orange Syrup/Glaze
▢3 tbsp (50 g) freshly squeezed orange juice
