• 1 cup coconut
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

2. Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the milk. Stir well until everything is evenly distributed, ensuring a balanced flavor in every bite.

3. Incorporate milk: Pour the milk into the mixture and continue mixing until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This step helps bind the ingredients together, resulting in a cohesive fruitcake.

4. Prepare loaf pans: Grease two loaf pans with cooking spray to prevent the fruitcake from sticking during baking. Alternatively, you can line the pans with parchment paper for easy removal.

5. Shape the fruitcake: Divide the fruitcake mixture evenly between the two prepared loaf pans. Using a spatula or your hands, press the mixture firmly into the pans to compact it.

6. Bake: Place the filled loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the fruitcake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the fruitcake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pans for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

8. Additional tip: If you’re using smaller disposable loaf pans, you may be able to divide the mixture into three loaves instead of two, allowing you to share the joy of Mom’s Favorite Fruitcake with even more loved ones! 🎁

Indulge in the rich flavors of this decadent fruitcake, perfect for Christmas celebrations, sweet brunches, or anytime you’re craving a delightful dessert. With its heavenly combination of fruits, nuts, and just the right amount of sweetness, Mom’s Favorite Fruitcake is sure to become a beloved family tradition for years to come. Enjoy! 🍒🥥🎂
