Wonderful fruitcake without that nasty citron. Not only does it taste great, but it looks very pretty and it's easy enough for an 18-year-old to make (me)! I make this at Thanksgiving so it's ready for Christmas.

Time P19DT18h52m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ cups dates, pitted and chopped
1 (16 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
9 ounces candied pineapple
2 ½ cups pecan halves
3 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons peach brandy

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Place parchment paper on bottom and sides of pan, and grease the parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
  • Mix together flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Add the dates, drained cherries, pineapple, and pecans to flour. Stir to coat well. Add eggs to fruit mixture; stir well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure to press the mixture very firmly into the pan to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until cake tests done. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan, peel off the parchment paper, and set it aside.
  • Brush corn syrup all over the top and sides of cake, then brush it with peach brandy. Rewrap the cake in the used parchment paper, and then in aluminum foil for storage. Brush the cake with 2 tablespoons of peach brandy each week.

This fruitcake was a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would recommend using more butter or oil next time.

This fruitcake was a bit too boozy for my taste, but other than that it was very good. I would recommend using less rum next time.
