Recipe Brandied Christmas Fruitcake –
Note: These quantities are double the original amounts. I like to freeze half of what I bake and enjoy for months to come!

Ingredients:
2 cups candied cherries
3 cups raisins
3 cups white raisins
8 ounces candied orange peel
8 ounces candied lemon peel ( I used grated lemon rind, 1 Tablespoon)
2-4 cups chopped almonds, skin removed
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional and you can substitute for ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg)
2 cups brandy ( 1 cup goes in the recipe; the other cup you pour on top of the hot cake )
2 cups butter
2 ½ cups of sugar
12 eggs- beaten
5 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

Combine first 7 ingredients and 1 cup of the brandy in a large container/sturdy plastic bag, combine well, and let sit overnight (24 hours) in the refrigerator.
Next day:
Preheat oven to 350F (177C)
Cream butter and sugar.
Add beaten eggs and mix well.
Add flour and baking powder.
Mix the butter mixture with the fruit mixture you marinated overnight.
Spoon dough into a springform pan.
Bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours. To test when done, stick a knife in the center of cake and if it comes out clean, cake is done!
If cake starts to brown too much, just cover loosely with aluminum foil until it’s done.
This cake is tastier a month down the road, so great for freezing and saving for later.
It is wonderful to open your freezer 3 months later and pull out a slice of this cake. I wrap it in many layers of wax paper and two plastic bags to store in freezer.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
Thank you for watching!
See you in the next one!
