Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
-
Gently fold in the mixed dried fruits and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, slice the fruit cake light into wedges and serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
