Easy White Fruit Cake Recipes

WHITE FRUIT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F and line loaf pans with parchment paper.
• Blend eggs, vanilla, sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl.
• Add salt, baking powder, and flour and mix.
• Mix in pineapple and juice, cherries, raisins, dried cherries, and pecans.
• Fill the tins with fruit cake batter and spread to even the surface.
• Bake at 300° for 1 1⁄2 hours. Start testing for doneness with 20 minutes left, to prevent over-cooking.

NEE'S WHITE FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and set aside.
• Cream sugar and butter together until well blended.
• Add egg yolks and extracts and beat for 2 minutes.
• Add the baking soda into the sour cream; mix well and let sit for 3 minutes.
• Once 3 minutes are up, add the sour cream to the cake mixture.
• Add 1 ½ cups flour and beat well. Once this mixture is well beaten, fold in your egg whites.
• (I used my Kitchen Aid with the wire beater to mix everything to this point. Once I get to this stage, I use the hook or the other flat beater attachment---this makes the whole mixing bowl FULL). Anyway, once the egg whites are folded in, fold in your coconut and pecans.
• In a medium bowl with a lid (so you can shake), put the remaining 1 ½ cup flour, the cherries, and pineapple chunks; cover and shake well to cover the fruit.
• Once the fruit is covered, add this (flour and fruit) to the cake mixture and blend until it is all mixed well. The flour keeps the fruit from all dropping to the bottom.
• In a GOOD QUALITY tube pan which has been well sprayed with non-stick spray and lightly floured, pour the cake mixture into the pan, lightly spreading it evenly.
• On top of the cake batter, place your pineapple slices, lightly pushing them into the batter. If you have extra room, you might like to put a few cherries too for color.
• Bake this at 275 degrees for 2 ½ hours. After an hour or so, the top will begin to get a darker brown. When it gets to the point of brown that I like, I lightly place a piece of foil over the top to keep it from getting too brown.
• Use a wooden kabob skewer or something similar to test for doneness.
• Once it is done, remove it from the oven and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes before removing from the pan. I dump mine out on a plate, then get another plate to transfer it so the pineapple/top part is actually on top instead of the bottom.

MAMA'S WHITE FRUIT CAKE (FAMILY FAVORITE)

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 250 DEGREES F. Line a 12 cup bundt pan with greased parchment paper or brown paper bag, & then dust with flour, and set aside. NOTE: With improvements in technology over the years, you can now spray pan liberally with Bakers Joy, and eliminate the use of the Brown Paper Bag.
• 2. Cream butter & sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• 3. Gradually add the flour, a little at a time. Stir in the cherries and pecans. When the batter becomes stiff, add the lemon extract, mixing well until blended.
• 4. I prefer using both green & red cherries to add extra color to the cake.
• 5. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, but are not dry. Fold into the cake batter until blended. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake in preheated 250 degree F. oven for 2 1/2 hours.
• 6. Cool the cake in pan on a rack for 1 hour. Invert cake onto rack. Remove liner, and cool completely, right- side up.
• 7. This recipe is dedicated to the memory of my mother Barbara S. Goldmon, my first culinary instructor, that had so much patience to teach me what she knew how to do best. She made this cake for as long as I can remember, and each time I make it, it reminds me of her, and her true patience. If you want to know patience try cooking this cake at 250 degrees for 2 and a half hours in a wood stove, where you need to constantly add wood to maintain the temperature. That's patience my friend. Here is to you mama with love.
• 8. I just made this cake for the first time WITHOUT THE BROWN PAPER BAG, OR PARCHMENT PAPER. I used the BAKERS JOY, AND THE CAKE TURNED OUT WONDERFULLY. jUST THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. I have made it for years strickly as it was written, but now I know if I use BAKERS JOY, I do not need the parchment paper or brown bag. YIPPEE.
