BREAK TAKE A

NOT YOUR GRANDMA’S FRUITCAKE

Inspired by SimplyRecipes.com

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tsp baking soda • 1 cup sour cream • 3 1/2 cups mixed

• 1 cup nuts of your choice, chopped • 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided • 1 stick butter

• 1 cup sugar • 1 egg, room temperature • Zest of 1 orange • 1 tsp salt

dried fruit of your choice, chopped

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with greased baking paper. Ensure the piece running the length of the pan stands 1 inch above each side to form “handles.” 2. In a small bowl, mix baking soda and sour cream. 3. In a second bowl, combine fruit, nuts, and 1/4 cup flour. 4. In a third bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, zest, and sour cream mixture. Then, add remaining flour and salt. Mix, then add fruit mixture. 5. Pour batter into lined pan. Fill up a separate loaf pan halfway with water. Bake both pans in oven for 1 1/2–2 hours or until a skewer leaves the cake clean. 6. Use “handles” to remove cake from pan and cool completely on a rack before serving.
