Yield PEOPLE

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 oz. dried figs, finely chopped
4 oz. dried apricots, finely chopped
4 oz. raisins
1⁄2 cup dark rum
1 tbsp. orange zest
1 1⁄2 tsp. lemon zest
12 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened,
plus more for greasing
1 3⁄4 cups flour, plus more for pan
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup superfine sugar
4 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the figs, apricots, raisins, rum, orange zest, and lemon zest in small bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. 2. Heat oven to 350°. Grease the bottom and sides of a 12 1⁄4" x 4 1⁄2" x 2 3⁄4" loaf pan with butter and dust all over with flour; tap our excess and set aside. 3. Whisk together the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat with a handheld mixer set to medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the reserved fruit-rum mixture and the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. 4. Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Unmold cake onto a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
