How to Make Irish Christmas Cake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x3 inch springform pan. (Use 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour)
- Combine 1 cup dried cherries, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup currants, ½ cup candied peel, and ½ cup angelica in a large bowl.
- Add ½ cup all-purpose flour and toss to coat the fruit evenly. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then slowly beat in 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp ground allspice, and a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped mixed nuts and the fruit mixture into the batter, adding about ½ cup at a time and mixing well after each addition.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake on the middle rack for 1 hour and 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be a light golden brown.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform pan. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container.
