Classic Holiday Fruit Cake is on the menu in Chef Anna Olson’s amazing kitchen, and she is going to teach you how to make this delicious recipe from scratch!
If you don't want to use alcohol, you can substitute apple or orange juice, but if you do you will have to freeze the cake if you want to keep it longer than three days (the alcohol preserves it).

Hello – can I use almond flour?
Hello Anna, may I know why you do not line your baking tin with baking paper (as some recipes even recommend 2 layers and another layer on the outside of the tin.). With the high sugar content, wouldn't the cake get burnt easily ?
The best pastry chef i would say and i am so inlove with your recipes…
I am confused with the 1/4 + 1/2 cup sherry or brandy.
Anna böyle müthiş bir kek yemedim çok mükemmel görünüyor ellerine emeğine sağlık teşekkürler birde rica etsem bir panettone tarifi yayınlarmısın hoşçakal
Can I add chocolate chip to this cake?
yummy i think rum will give best taste
Yum!
Hi Chef Anna! If I'm not using ground almonds (as my daughter is allergic to nuts), how can I adjust the recipe? Any substitution? Thanks!
I'm confused about your flour measurements in all your recipes. 1 cup of flour is 120g, 2 cups is 240g, but your recipe says 300g. Can you please clarify, thanks.
Alcohol make it non halal
How to make your fruit cake recipe without alcohol? Thank you
Hi Anna,
I tried your recipe and I am in awe! My cake tastes great.
But very slight bitterness is there in it. I made 1/3rd the recipe, used dark rum and was careful while adding zest too(no pith added). I did rinse my candied fruits before soaking to avoid excess sugar from those. Would you be able to point out if there is something obvious that went wrong?
The cake is very moist, soft and not at all dry. But it didnt get the dark color as yours😔. Nevertheless, its difficult to cut a neat slice of it. It's kind of falling apart after slicing. Any pointers here too will be very helpful..
Plz advise.
Thanks a lot

it's completely amazing how you get the cake out from the pan with just one tap and turn…
Love this.
Amazing recipe… what do I do if I don't want to use that much fruit or don't have most available?
My mom used to love fruit cake…love you ma
not gonna lie emek var
Thank you dear .
This is another awsome upload.
well done again!
when will people get rid of those stupid imperial measurements ?
I ❤️ it
Could I use dates instead of figs? I went crazy grocery shopping and bought a couple bags of dates that I need to use up. I already have a recipe for toffee pudding I am going to try so I can use up some of the dates.
Love your recipe. What would you suggest using in place of the spirit?
Hi Anna, Can we use whisky 🥃 (double black johnny walker to soak the dried fruits and drizzle? Tk u
this is very expensive pie. and would give me diahrea. so much dried fruit in a pie. wow too much. and i didnt taste it. i would not make this considering these issues. but i wouldnt mind tasting. im sure its good if i tried. just so many drawbacks. never mind soaking the fruit. ill pass this one. i love your way of baking and wanna try many things. i dont use butter in baking. and wonder if margaring can be sub in any baking? dont ask why i dont use butter. i have an allergic child.
Your kitchen organization is amazing. God bless you
I've done this style of cake but I prepare it on November and keep it in the fridge. Every week or every 3 days I add a little more brandy so by Xmas Eve it has reached such a sweet and intense flavor but in a good way. It tastes amazing!!! Now I'm curious if all that effort is in vain and I just had to follow your steps 😆 thanks for the recipe!!! 💟💝
Tried this recipe. For some reason the cake just crumbled and fell apart. It did not hold together.. wonder why ? More eggs needed ?
My family & friends like it a lot. Thanks. Happy New Year of 2021.
nice but i do not drink alcohol =nor do i keep any spirits at home..so this recipe is USELESS
I love your recipe and I have try this it came awesome thanks …..India

The best fruitcake i've seen so far here in youtube.
Hi Anna. If I want to reduce the quantity of dried fruits being used, should the quantity of the orange juice/ sherry used to soak the fruit, also be reduced proportionally ?
Hi Anna, i baked this cake (6 of them) and they turned out beautifully moist and delicious. Thank you for this recipe. Merry Christmas from Singapore. 🎄
😋😋😋😋 ultimate recipe 🤗🤗😘😘😘
I made this recipe today. Waiting for them to cool. One query – don't we need to dust the pans? Thanks for you beautiful videos.
Hi Anna, thank you for a wonderful recipe, this jogs up so many childhood memories! If I want to halve the recipe for one cake, how much time I should bake? thanks again. 🙂
