Ingredients for Fruit Cake:

  •      1/2 cup vegetable oil
  •       4 large eggs
  •       1 cup chopped dates
  •       1/2 cup chopped candied cherries
  •       1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple
  •        1 cup chopped walnuts

  •       Glaze, optional
  •       1 cup sifted powdered sugar
  •       1 package spice cake mix (2 layer size)
  •       1 package (3 3/4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
  •       2/3 cup apricot nectar
  •       1/4 cup Apricot brandy
Method to prepare Fruit Cake:

In a mixing bowl, combine cake-mix, pudding mix, apricot nectar and vegetable oil. Beat on medium speed until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Fold in the chopped fruits and nuts.

Turn batter into a generously greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350°C for 50 to 55 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool for 15 minutes in the pan then remove to a rack to cool thoroughly.

For best flavor, wrap and store in refrigerator for 24 hours before serving.

Solution of 1 cup sugar is drizzled over fruitcake before serving.
