How to Make Uncle Bill's Christmas Fruitcake With Brandy
- Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Grease and flour a 10x15 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 and brandy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped nuts, candied fruits, and raisins.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 360 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil after the first 2 hours to prevent over-browning.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting (optional).
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
