Light Fruit Cake Loaded with Fruit: A Game Changer for Fruit Cake Haters

For this cake, you'll need butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, almond flour, milk, raisins, mixed dried fruits, candied peel, cherries, nutmeg, lime zest, rum, almond flavor, and vanilla extract.

To achieve a good structure, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F. Grease and line cake tin.

Creaming the Butter and Sugar:

Add eggs one at a time, beating well and adding flour with the last egg to prevent curdling.

Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt into the batter, then add the almond flour. Mix.

Add milk, dried fruits, nutmeg, lime zest, rum, almond flavor, and vanilla extract. Stir well and scrape down bowl.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 325 F until tester/skewer comes out clean, 50-60 minutes.

Cool cake on wire rack for 10 minutes, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and serve with tea or whipped cream.
