If you're looking for a classic holiday dessert that's both flavorful and easy to make, try this fruitcake recipe. A perfect combination of rich flavors, this fruitcake is sure to delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup mixed candied fruit
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup brandy

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter and dust it with flour. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until well combined.

Add the mixed candied fruit, chopped nuts, orange juice, and brandy to the batter and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the fruitcake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the fruitcake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious holiday treat.
