Eggless Buttermilk Fruit Cake

This is a wonderfully moist and tender cake, it’s full of ground spices and dried and candied fruit. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 180 degrees Celsius.

You will need a 9×5-inch loaf pan that is buttered and lightly floured or sprayed with nonstick spray. This is a really easy cake; you don’t need a mixer, just two bowls of wet and dry ingredients, and then you will just mix them.

For the dry ingredients, add all-purpose flour, then add baking soda, salt, and spices. Whisk them to ensure everything is mixed, then add in dried and candied fruits.

You can vary this according to your personal preferences and you will need about two cups of the dried fruits of your choice then with your hands into the flour mixture, coat all the fruits with the flour.

You can also macerate the fruits in alcohol a day before you start baking. For the wet ingredients, in a separate bowl, add firmly packed light brown sugar, then add in melted butter that is cold to room temperature and then mix it into the sugar.
