How to Make 1950 S Uncooked Fruit Cake
- Gently warm one (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan of simmering water for 2-3 minutes. This makes it easier to pour and incorporate.
- In a large bowl, combine the warmed sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup (2 sticks) of melted unsalted butter and 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Stir until completely smooth and well combined.
- Add 2 cups of your favorite dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots, or a mix!), 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your choice), and 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or loaf pan generously with butter or cooking spray. Alternatively, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier rolling.
- Pour the fruit cake mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. If rolling into logs, shape the mixture into a log approximately 2 inches in diameter on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set completely.
- Once set, slice and serve. If the cake seems too dry after setting, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of additional sweetened condensed milk before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
