For a richer flavor, soak the raisins and dates in rum or brandy for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the batter. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits or nuts according to your preference. Dried cranberries, apricots, or pecans would be delicious additions. To prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the cake, ensure that they are well coated with flour before adding them to the wet ingredients. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage. Freezing is also an option, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. For a festive touch, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze.

Jun 20, 2025I made this cake for Christmas last year, and it was a huge hit. The candied cherries and pineapple give it such a festive look, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again this year!
