Simple and Delicious Fruitcake Recipe

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and preparing a loaf pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.

Next, in a bowl, combine the dried fruits and nuts, then toss them with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat evenly. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Fold in the dried fruit and nut mixture until evenly distributed throughout the batter, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
