THE FANNY FARMER DARK FRUITCAKE



The Fanny Farmer Dark Fruitcake image

This famous fruitcake recipe by Fanny Farmer goes back years, I made it recently using the brandied fruit cake option as stated on the bottom of the recipe and I strongly recommend to use that method as the brandy will strongly intensify the flavor and preserve the cake, this fruit cake is wonderful and I plan on making it again.

CALIFORNIA FIG FRUITCAKE



California Fig Fruitcake image

This is IT! The fruitcake that doesn't have the weirdly dyed citron chunks, the fruitcake that fruitcake haters LOVE! Made it, lost the recipe & just refound it! Making it this weekend for Christmas cutting! ***I substitute 2 Tablespoons lemon zest for the extract***** **Time does NOT include overnight fruit marinade** From the California Fig Advisory Board ****addendum - my dried fruit drank over a cup (hiccup!) of sherry on soaking & even then I had MINIMAL to add to apricot puree - so I added enough to douse the cakelets well (hiccup! :))

Time 2h30m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups california dried figs, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup dates, chopped
1/2 cup dried pears, chopped
1/2 cup dried pineapple, chopped
1/2 cup dried apricot, chopped
1/4 cup sherry wine
1/2 cup apricot nectar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon lemon extract
3 cups pecans, chopped & lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Combine figs, raisins, dates, pears & pineapple in a large bowl with the sherry. Marinate overnight at room temp covered with plastic wrap.
  • The next day, simmer apricots in nectar 10 minutes & then cool. Drain marinated fruits (save sherry!) & add apricots after draining (add nectar to drained sherry).
  • Grease & line bottom of 5 baby loaf pans (5 5/8 x 3 1/4 x 1 7/8 inch) with brown paper (grease again after laying paper in pans). I have used a 12 cup bundt pan with good results - increasing cooking time by 30 minutes & then checking with toothpick.
  • Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder & cinnamon.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Lemon extract or zest & vanilla & mix. Add flour, baking powder & cinnamon to wet ingredients & mix lightly to make batter.
  • Using remaining 1/4 cups of flour to dredge fruits & nuts in a separate bowl.
  • Add fruit & nuts to batter & blend well.
  • Pour into prepared pans & place in COLD oven on middle rack. Put a pan of cold water in bottom of oven & turn oven on to 250 degrees F.
  • Bake 2 hours until golden & tester comes out clean. Cool cakes on wire rack. Remove brown paper while still warm.
  • Wrap each fruitcake in cheesecloth moistened with sherry/nectar & then in heavy weight aluminum foil.
  • Refrigerate 2 to 4 weeks, moistening with sherry when cheesecloth seems to be getting dry.
  • For gift-giving, overwrap with red cellophane & top with a bow.
