Get the latest Fruitcake recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/fruitcake Great fruitcake for the traditional fruitcake hater, like myself. This version is lighter and doesn't have that weird candied fruit stuff in it. People will actually eat this instead of using it for a doorstop. It will keep for a while... it's best a few days after you've made it, just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap! Good at Christmas time. http://www.grouprecipes.com/105446/japanese-fruitcake.html This recipe sounded good.. I have been looking for a recipe for fruitcake that doesn't use candied fruits... this is not the one that I had in mind but it does look good... the recipe is from Bon Appétit | December 2002 http://www.grouprecipes.com/105057/dried-cherry-almond-fruitcake.html Plan-ahead needs to chill !! Make the most of angel food cake, pie filling and whipped topping by creating this light impressive dessert that doesn't keep you in the kitchen for hours. Adapted from Carol Johnson;s recipe posted in the Quick Cooking Magazine July/Aug 2001. http://www.grouprecipes.com/103698/blueberry-angel-dessert.html Some day I am going to find the fruit cake recipe I lost... but until then I have found some very interesting cakes...this one uses real dried fruits and not the candied kind.... the cake base is like a pound cake... the recipe is from King Arthur's http://www.grouprecipes.com/100078/real-fruit-sour-cream-fruitcake.html 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 http://www.grouprecipes.com/99656/carrot-fruitcake.html I have been searching for a fruitcake recipe that either I can't find or it is in one of my recipe jumbles.... this is sort of like it.... the recipe makes 4 or 5 small loaves... the recipe is from Bailey's Mills Bed & Breakfast Reading, Vermont (10 miles south of Woodstock) http://www.grouprecipes.com/98443/barbaras-fruitcake-with-real-fruit.html This is a moist Apple cake. A great dessert or for breakfast. This is also great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. http://www.grouprecipes.com/98312/apple-streusel-cake.html I know this isn't the right season for posting a fruitcake recipe... but I did not want to misplace it... it has dried fruits only candied cherries and a ton of nuts... the recipe and photo is courtesy of the Country Woman and Clare Brooks, Juneau, Alaska http://www.grouprecipes.com/94023/apricot-fruitcake-recipe.html Heavily adapted from http://aweebitofcooking.co.uk/ 2007/06/19/fool-proof-baking/ who wrote: "Here, is my mum’s fruit loaf, it has never failed me yet. You may even enjoy it yourself, as it is more spicy than sweet and lovely and moist! You could served it sliced or as a whole loaf." I hope I can do her justice! This bread smells like Heaven while it spends it's (admittedly long) term in the oven, but don't open the oven door until it's at LEAST 30 minutes into the bake time - the low, long bake is key to the moisture. Next time I make this I'm going to try adding dried cherries and apricots to the mixture.You can probably get up to 8oz of dry fruit total into the cake. http://www.grouprecipes.com/92709/hollers-mums-fruit-loaf.html This is more like a pound cake then a traditional fruitcake. http://www.grouprecipes.com/91114/pumpkin-fruitcake-version-2.html
