Carrot Fruitcake Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Peetabear / All my dishes 3 months, 4 weeks ago This sounded different and worth trying this Fall... I like the fact that there is not that much candied fruit in it... but I think it need some brandy or rum added to it even if it is just an extract...this recipe and photo are from oops I don't know...found the recipe on the web...

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups chopped nuts

1 cup chopped mixed candied fruit

1 cup chopped dates

1 cup raisins

3 cups all-purpose flour, divided

2 cups sugar

1-1/2 cups canola oil

4 eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups finely shredded carrots

Confectioners' sugar icing, optional

Directions

Combine nuts, fruit, dates and raisins with 1/2 cup flour; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine sugar and oil; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and remaining flour;

gradually add to sugar mixture, beating until smooth. (Batter will be stiff.)

Fold in carrots and fruit mixture.

Spoon into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, drizzle with icing.

Yield: 12-16 servings.

I don't know why fruitcake gets such a bad rap, there are some great ones out there, and this looks like one of them. Thanks and 5 forks.
