Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Coconut |
| 1 | Flour |
| 1 | Baking Powder |
| 1 | Eggs |
| 3 | Milk |
| 1/2 | White Raisins |
| 1/2 | Butter |
| 1 | Sugar |
| 1/2 | Vanilla |
| 1/2 | Cherries |
| 1 | Nuts |
Instructions:
-
Cream sugar and butter together. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and butter, beating them together until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs one at a time and milk. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the milk and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
-
Add sifted ingredients. Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add them to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Add cherries, raisins, and coconut, making sure they are completely covered with batter. Gently fold in the cherries, raisins, and coconut, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Then add nuts and vanilla. Stir in the nuts and vanilla extract, infusing the batter with rich, aromatic flavors.
-
Batter will be very thick. Don’t be alarmed if the batter is thick; this is perfectly normal for a fruitcake.
-
Prepare the loaf pan. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit the bottom of the loaf pan, then line it with wax paper and grease it well to prevent sticking.
-
Spoon batter into the pan. Transfer the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake at 300°F for approximately 2 hours. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C), then bake the fruitcake for about 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and serve. Allow the fruitcake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve this delightful Coconut Fruitcake to friends and family, savoring each delicious bite!
Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this Coconut Fruitcake, a timeless treat that’s perfect for any occasion! 🥥🍰
