Sticky Fruit Cake Recipe
Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make your delicious sticky fruit cake: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 ½ cup of light-brown sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 ½ cups of dried fruit of your choice (such as raisins, chopped dates, dried cranberries, etc.) and ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating each one in until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix again. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, in thirds, alternating with the sour cream. Stir in the dried fruit and chopped nuts. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
