This great recipe has been brought to you by kingarthurflour.comwebsite , thanks for sharing it with us
Here below is a list of the ingredients you will need to make this recipe
More of a cake with fruit than a traditional “fruitcake,” this cake is stuffed with apricots, cherries, cranberries, and toasted nuts (in place of the usual fruitcake’s citron and peel), then glazed with a sweetened orange juice syrup. Moist and nicely dense, it’s a revelation to those who think they don’t like fruitcake; and a nice change for aficionados of the typical dark, liquor-soaked loaf.
