Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 150 g Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 ml Strong brewed coffee
- 300 g Mixed dried fruits (raisins, currants, chopped dried apricots)
- 100 g Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 30 ml Coffee liqueur (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and coffee liqueur (if using). Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently to combine.
Add the mixed dried fruits and chopped nuts to the batter. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 80-90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, brush the cooled fruitcake with additional coffee liqueur for extra moisture and flavor.
Slice and serve as a delightful dessert or with a cup of coffee.
