How to Make Frchtebrot Mit Backobst Fruit Bread W Mixed Dried Fruit

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add the finely grated zest of 1 lemon.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups mixed dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, apricots, currants).
  8. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes at 300°F (150°C).
  10. Increase oven temperature to 360°F (180°C) and bake for another 30 minutes.
