- 2 ¾ cup all purpose flour, plus 3 tbsps. for dusting fruits
- 5 large eggs, room temperature for the best results
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter, unsalted and softened for easy creaming
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract, pick a good quality vanilla extract and not artificial extract
- ¾ cup Florida’s Natural No Pulp Orange Juice¼ cup whole milk yogurt
- ½ cup golden raisins
- 1 cup Fruit cake dried fruit mix
- ¾ cup glace green cherries
- You must coat the dried fruits with flour or they will sink to the bottom of your Bundt pan.
- If you can’t find the fruit cake fruit mix, you can buy different types of dried fruits like green cherries, red cherries, pineapple, apricot, kiwi, papaya and cut them up into small pieces and use that instead to make your own homemade fruit mix.
- Must use a non-stick “baking spray” before pouring into the pan even if the pan is non stick as your fruit cake will stick.
- If you want a bolder orange flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract or some orange zest into the mixture.
- You can also add nuts like pecan or walnut to your fruit cake. If you do, make sure you break them up a little and coat with flour before adding into the cake batter.
