More of a cake with fruit (a fruit cake) than a traditional “fruitcake,” this will be thoroughly enjoyed by all. While the picture shows a full-size bundt-style cake, the recipe translates easily to smaller gift-size cakes; see step #2; and baker’s tips, below.

To make mini loaves: Lightly grease a mini loaf pan. Prepare the batter, then spoon it into the pan, filling each well about three-quarters full — you’ll use about 4 1/2 ounces of batter in each well. Bake the cakes for 28 to 30 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven. Wait 5 minutes, turn them out of the pan, then brush the tops of the warm cakes with a coat of glaze. Repeat with the remaining batter — you’ll need to bake two full batches, plus an additional half batch.
