I have used this one for years. Everyone who LIKES fruitcake loves this one.
Fruitcake
1 cup buttery flavored oil. (It calls for wesson buttery flavored oil, can't get that any more, so I use the buttery flavored popcorn oil that Orville makes).
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 t. baking powder
2 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
2 t. allspice
1 t. cloves
1 c. orange juice
2 c. candied fruit (your choice)
15 oz. white raisins
3 c chopped nuts
Heat oven to 275 degrees.
Combine oil, sugar and eggs. Beat thoroughly.
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and spices then add alternately with orange juice.
Add candied fruit, raisins and nuts.
Oil pan and line bottom with waxed paper.
Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
I usually make this a week or two ahead of time and soak white paper towels with rum or brandy to wrap them in. Reapply rum when paper towels dry out.
