How to Make Mulled Wine Fruit And Nut Christmas Cake Make Ahead Fruitcake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the mulled wine, chopped fruit, and nuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or glazing. (Optional: For extra festive flair, use a fruit and nut glaze, or add a decorative frill.)
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld.
