White Fruit Cake

White Fruit Cake
Ingredients

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup (150g) sugar

• 4 large eggs (room temperature)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ¼ cup (60ml) milk

• 1½ cups (200g) mixed dried fruits (chopped raisins, cherries, pineapple, etc.)

• 2 tbsp flour (for coating fruits)

Instructions

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking powder.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.

Toss the dried fruits with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking, then fold them gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into a greased and lined loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before slicing.
