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.

RICH DARK FRUITCAKE



Rich Dark Fruitcake image

This is my mother's very old recipe, at least 60 years old. My mother baked this for my wedding, and it sure is delicious and also a great Christmas cake. This is a very long recipe, but well worth the trouble. You can substitute a cup of drained maraschino cherries for the candied cherries, if you like.

Time 6h

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 24

6 cups golden raisins
3 cups dried currants
1 ½ cups pitted dates
6 cups raisins
1 pound candied mixed citrus peel
½ pound candied cherries
2 cups almonds
2 cups butter
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground allspice
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond extract
2 cups white sugar
12 egg yolks
½ cup molasses
12 egg whites
½ cup grape juice
½ cup strong brewed coffee

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the raisins and the currants. Wash, dry, pit, and chop the dates. Chop the raisins and the citrus peel. Slice the cherries. Blanch the almonds, and slice them lengthwise. Combine fruits and nuts in large bowl.
  • Grease and line 3 standard Christmas cake pans (these round pans are at least 3 inches deep and come in a set of three sizes- 5, 7, and 9 inch across) with 4 layers of heavy waxed paper, or 3 layers of brown paper. Grease again. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices onto a piece of waxed paper. Remove 1 cup of this flour mixture, and combine with fruit and nuts. Mix until fruit is well coated.
  • Cream the butter until fluffy. Add extracts. Gradually add sugar, mixing until creamy. Beat egg yolks until light and lemon-colored, and beat into the butter mixture. Stir in the molasses, and beat together well. Add half of the remaining flour mixture, and blend thoroughly.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; fold into batter. Stir in lightly the remaining flour mixture alternately with grape juice and coffee. Add floured fruit and nuts, blending in until fruit is well distributed.
  • Turn batter into prepared cake tins, filling each about 2/3 full and spreading batter evenly. Bake in center of oven. Bake small cake 2 1/2 hours, medium cake 3 1/2 hours, and large cake 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to stand 5 minutes, then turn out on wire rack to cool.

Time 2h30m

Yield 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups seedless raisins
3 cups sultana raisins
1 cup glace cherries, chopped
1 cup dates, chopped
1 cup nuts, chopped, lightly toasted (that have been in the oven)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 teaspoon mace
1 cup shortening
1 cup dark rum
6 eggs
1/3 cup jam (strawberry is best)
1/2 cup molasses

Steps:

  • With 3/4 cup of the dark rum, pour over chopped fruit and nuts. Cover and let soak for at least 48 hours. The fruit should be stirred once a day or so.
  • Keep remaining rum for after baking directions -- see below.
  • Stir flour, salt, baking soda and spices together Set aside.
  • In separate bowl, Cream shortening and brown sugar together till fluffy.
  • Add eggs and beat one at a time.
  • Add molasses, jam and mix well.
  • Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in fruit.
  • Prepare your round fruit cake pan by oiling and line pan with paper. Oil and flour again lightly.
  • Ensure the top of the paper is about 1 inch or so above the top of the pan.
  • Fill prepared pans 2/3 full.
  • Bake in a slow oven 300°F for 2 hours or so.
  • Place a shallow pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven during baking. This will ensure the cake stays moist. Remove this pan of water during the last hour of baking.
  • Cool completely before removing paper.
  • Storing and mellowing of fruit Cake: Wrap a cheese cloth that has been soaked in the remaining 1/4 cup of rum over the cake, covering it completely.
  • Next wrap the cake and cheesecloth in aluminum foil wrap.
  • Place in a cool place. Taste of cake is best when stored for 4 weeks or so! I've often brushed egg white over the cake, rolled out almond paste and laid it over the top and sides of cake. I then ice it. Everyone raves! NOTE: I've often doubled the recipe for a larger cake.
