Comment préparer Fantastic Light Fruitcake
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ cup orange juice, and ¼ cup club soda.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped candied cherries, 1 cup chopped pineapple (drained), and 1 cup pecan halves until evenly distributed.
- Mix the batter well using a stand mixer; mix cherries, pineapple, and pecans by hand to avoid overmixing.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into lightly greased and floured bundt pans (2 large) or a combination of loaf pans and smaller pans for gifts.
- Note: The batter will be very thick.
- Bake at 275°F (135°C).
- Baking time varies depending on pan size: Small pans: 55-60 minutes; Large bundt pans: 75-85 minutes; Loaf pan: 60-70 minutes.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let cool completely in pans before frosting (optional) and serving or gifting.
