White Fruitcake Recipe

White Fruitcake

From lacrenshaw 16 years ago

A lovely dried fruits and nuts fruitcake contributed to recipezaar by evelyn/athens. Anything is an improvement on citron as far as I'm concerned!

Preheat oven to 270 degrees F.
Line three 4 1/2x8 1/2 loaf pans with parchment; generously butter paper.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
Stir with fork to blend.
Add apricots, ginger, raisins, pineapple, almonds and walnuts.
Toss gently to coat.
Cream butter and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy.
Beating by hand, gradually add fruit mixture alternately with eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each egg addition.
Blend in zests, vanilla and extracts.
Divide batter evenly among pans.
Bake until tester comes out clean, about 2 hours.
Cool 30 minutes.
Turn out of pans.
Peel off paper and cool completely.

Hubby just came in from work sick so I gotta make this quick.. thanks for you comments and some fives. If you get a minute, pie, can you tell me how to do the grapefruit peel? That sounds very interesting. See you tomorrow.. unless Ed stays home.

This sounds so good! I hate those nasty cherries that are in 'regular' fruitcake - they are so sickly sweet. This is definitely on my to-make list for next Christmas. Thanks for sharing! - Natalie

Sounds very pretty (and tasty too). I agree with you about citron, and I suggest you candy your own pink grapefruit peel--much much better.
