Irish Whiskey Fruitcake Recipe - Food.com image

This is the fruitcake I made for my birth family for many years; my sister still loves it and swears it is better than any fruitcake she's ever tasted. I haven't tasted any that come close. It needs 2 - 4 weeks for the flavors to meld and age well. Prep time is only a guess.

Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes

Prep Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours

Yield 1 fruitcake

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground mace
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter, softened (or margarine)
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1 (16 ounce) can apricot halves, drained and chopped
1/4 cup Irish whiskey, plus more
Irish whiskey, to age and soak
2 cups seedless raisins
8 ounces mixed candied fruit, chopped
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
8 ounces candied red cherries, halved
4 ounces candied green cherries, halved
cheesecloth

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, mace and cloves.
  • Cream butter with brown sugar until fluffy/light in a large bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in apricots and whiskey. Stir in flour mixture until blended, then raisins, mixed fruit, pecans and cherries.
  • Spoon into prepared pan. Spread top evenly.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours or till wooden pick comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Loosen cooled cake around the edges with a knife; turn out onto rack.
  • Wrap in cheesecloth, pour some Irish Whiskey over it every few days, and let age for two to four weeks. Overwrap the cheesecloth with foil. Keep in the refrigerator.

Hot toddy fruitcake recipe | BBC Good Food image

This fabulous Christmas cake can be made and decorated in four very different ways. Just choose your favourite

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Snack, Supper

Total Time 3 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Yield Cuts into 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 16

200ml hot, strong black tea (use any type)
3 tbsp whisky
3 tbsp good-quality orange marmalade , thin or medium shred
700g mixed dried fruit
100g mixed peel
100g glacé cherry (natural colour)
225g butter
225g golden caster sugar
4 eggs , beaten
225g plain flour
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
finely grated zest 1 lemon
2 tsp caster sugar
50ml hot black tea
1 tbsp whisky (or use orange juice if you prefer)

Steps:

  • Mix the hot tea, whisky and marmalade in a large bowl until the marmalade melts. Stir in all of the dried fruit, peel and cherries, then cover and leave to soak overnight.
  • Next day, heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 and grease and double-line a 20cm round, deep cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Using electric beaters, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well after each addition, then fold in the flour and spices, followed by the lemon zest and soaked fruit. Add any liquid that hasn’t been absorbed by the fruit, too. Spoon into the prepared tin, level the top, then bake for 1½ hrs. Turn the oven down to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 and bake for another 1½ hrs or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack in the tin.
  • While the cake is still warm, use the skewer to pepper the cake with holes, poking it all the way down. Dissolve the sugar in the tea, add the whisky or orange juice, then spoon over the surface. If you’re making the cake ahead of time, feed it with a fresh swig of hot toddy every week, but take care not to make the cake soggy. Can be kept for a month well-wrapped in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If short on time, the cake can be made the same day that you decorate it.

  • Make a simple-syrup by combining the sugar and water in a medium-size heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add in the lemon zest and juice and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for 2 min and remove from the heat. Combine the dry fruits in a large mixing bowl. Pour the simple-syrup over them, toss to coat and let steep for 5 min. Strain and reserve the syrup. Cream the butter, sugar and almond paste together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle at low speed, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat till the mix is fluffy and smooth, about 2 min. Add in the Large eggs 1 at a time, mixing in between each addition on low speed and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add in 1/4 c. of the Grand Marnier and mix to incorporate. Combine the flour, baking pwdr, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium-size mixing bowl and blend well. Add in this mix 1/2 c. at a time to the butter mix with the mixer on low speed, each time mixing till smooth, about 2 min. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. The batter will be thick. Add in the hot fruit and all of the nuts a little at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a bundt pan with butter or possibly non-stick baking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and bake till golden and the top springs back when touched, about 45 to 50 min (turning the pan to ensure even browning after 30 min.) Cold the cake for 20 min in the pan, then remove and continue to cold upside-down on wire racks. Make tiny holes with a toothpick randomly on the rounded end of the cake. Combine the remaining simple syrup with the remaining 1/4 c. of Grand Marnier and the bourbon. Wrap the cake in a layer of cheesecloth and pour 1/4 c. of the syrup over the top of each cake. Store in a plastic zip bag for 3 or possibly 4 days till the cake is slightly stale. Sprinkle syrup over cakes once every 2 to 3 days till all of the syrup is used. Let the cakes age for up to 3 weeks before eating. For the Whiskey Sauce: Combine 2 3/4 c. of the cream with the bourbon and sugar in a medium-size nonstick saucepan over medium-heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 c. cream. Add in this to the cream-and-bourbon mix and simmer stirring often, till the mix thickens, 4 to 5 min. Remove from the heat and serve hot with the fruitcake. The sauce may be stored, after it has cooled, in an airtight container for 24 hrs. When ready to serve, hot over low heat. This recipe yields 6 servings.
