My wife made this fruitcake and I hate it! I hate not eating it almost everyday and I know I will definitely hate it when it is gone! Best Fruitcake Ever! Thank you Noreen......Happy Holidays!
I did it!!! My husband and my son in law could eat this every day!!. Fruitcake is my favorite cake!!
So delish! I used diced dried apricots, fresh orange zest, raisins, dates, dried cherries and blueberries. Vanilla bean paste. Great recipe!
Thank you Noreen!
I have made this every year since I found this recipe here. My family now will only eat THIS fruit cake. It is truly the best EVER.
The best fruitcake recipe on RUclips. Thanks @noreenskitchen
Years later, and you're STILL a star! Just finished making this recipe. So far I haven't made one of your recipes that I didn't love. THANK YOU!
My recipe is so close and Im excited to make it for those that LOVE it!!! Reminds me of growing up. I always soak my fruit in dark rum, and brush the loaves for several weeks ... nummm
I like a lot of fruits in my cake and one thing I must absolutely have it's candied ginger in it's soooooo delish!!!😊
Linda...........me too and more nuts
I made this for Christmas 2016.
I loved it but it's fruitcake,and nobody wanted to try it.
So I wrapped it well and put it in the freezer.
This Summer,I thawed it and shared it with family and they couldn't get enough!!😁
It is fabulous!!!
I already have the ingredients to make it this week!!!
I think 90% of people who hate fruitcake have never had the real thing. I grew up on it, and make my own every year. It’s very similar to this.
Looks delicious. Love fruit cake.
I made this back before Christmas, but just now getting around to commenting. This was absolutely delicious! I used half golden raisins and half regular, dark raisins, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who wants a fabulous, moist, flavorful fruitcake that everyone will eat and ask for seconds.
I have tried this recipe and loved it. It's just the way she says
YAY!! I finally did it! I have the fruitcake in the oven and it smells amazing!!!! I didn't get a chance to make this last year and vowed that I'd make it this year!!! Thanks, Noreen!!
I made this cake for Xmas. It was moist, fruity and so delicious. Sunday morning it was gone . I’m so happy my family enjoyed it. Thank you so much.
Wonderful!
@TXnineandout At the end of the video I explained that you need to wait until the cake is completely cooled and then brush over 1/4 cup of vanilla syrup or bourbon if you dare. Your choice, personally I enjoyed the flavor of the vanilla syrup and it is a nice alternative if you want to keep the cake kid friendly. I hope you really enjoy this as much as we do. I even got my kids to eat it and they were surprised. The longer it sits, the better it gets! But right away it is good. Noreen
Thank you for your Recipe! Enjoyed your Videos! It looks Delicious! You do a fabulous Job! I love Fruit Cake!
This fruitcake should have been posted with a warning...DANGER: addictive substance! I made two loaves two days ago, the first is gone of which I shared some with a co-worker who loved it so much he ran off with the other two slices, whilst stuffing his mouth saying "mmm this is delicious" "THIS IS DELICIOUS". Thanks you two for an amazing fruitcake recipe!
I made this fruitcake day before yesterday and it's delicious!!
Try as I might,I couldn't find candied pineapple in my town so I used dehydrated instead and it taste fine.
The cake is moist and scrumptious.
I'll be serving slices for Christmas Eve and maybe even a slice in the treats that I give my mailman and garbage man.
This recipe is a keeper!
Thanks Noreen!!😊
I like the candied peel 😂 I mean it's not my favourite part of the cake but I quite like the taste. Maybe it's because I'm British who knows 😂
I went by this vide a couple of years ago and my fruitcake turned out perfect. Noreen is the bomb!!!
I love a good fruit cake
Your recipe is very similar to mine, except I add 1/3 cup molasses and use a package of dried cherries instead of candied. Yours looks delicious!
I am going to bake this cake. I have most of the ingredients and what I need I am going to the store later today for what I do not have. I have made Betty's fruitcake from Betty's Kitchen and it was over the moon delicious. So, I am baking your recipe this evening or in the morning. Thank you for your recipe. As your recipe has nutmeg in it, I will leave out the mace. This recipe looks lucious, also. Have a lovely New Year!
Mace and nutmeg may be part of the same entity but they actually bring different flavors to the recipe. I highly encourage you to try it with the mace.
@@noreenskitchenchannel thank you for the suggestion.😀
Just enough batter to hold all the goodies together. As it should be. This is survival food.
It’s delicious survival food!
@@noreenskitchenchannel yes it is. I'm going to try your recipe. Thanks.
Great job.👏
Why did it take 10 years for me to see this video it looks awesome thank you.
I am so glad I found this fruitcake. It is like old time fruitcakes, full of fruit, little cake. Even the most pricey fruitcakes are more cake with some fruit. I plan on using sweet rum. I poke holes in a very cool fruitcake with a shish-ka-bob stick, or a clean crochet needle. and slowly pour a small amount over the cake. I do the same every couple of days. It could be called Drunkin Fruitcake...lol. But it will last a long time if tightly covered.
What a nice way to make a fruitcake.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Ok this is the bombdiggity, thank you so much! :-) I didn't use citron or budda hand citrus but I did add a bit of fresh orange rind peel.cut into teensy tiny chunks to mine and substituted chopped dehydrated green kiwi and red cranberry and orange rose colored cubes of papaya so I didn't use the red and green glacee cherrys, and it was wonderfully colorful without high fructose corn syrup.. loved the walnuts and pelicans mixed in! :-) thank you!
Thanks for sharing the substitutions you made for the red and green glacee cherries. I am highly allergic to corn and corn products so "just dealing with it" isn't an option for me...
I made your cake before noreen. It was beautiful. I left out the syrup because the fruit were sweet enough for my liking. Thank you for sharing this with us. It is highly appreciated and btw I love your website.
Noreen I want to thank you for your hard work & giving us the recipe. The fruit cake is brilliant. I'm in the process of baking cakes, pies & even making butter to give out this holiday season, funds are kinda low this year so I decided it would be a handmade Christmas this year. Thank you again my best friend and I have been looking for the perfect fruit cake recipe and you have done the impossible. 😀❤🙏merry Christmas & a beautiful new year. God bless you & your beautiful family.
I watched your video. I think you did a fine job. Although, I’ve been making my Grandmothers recipe for over 40 yrs, your recipe has come very close to it. I chop up my ingredients much smaller and I do use pecans. Walnuts don’t have the right taste now feel for me. The only difference is I add a few more ingredients to give it that good old New Orleans flavor.
Thank You! This recipe was amazing.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Girl, you are so talented, you need your own cooking show! I can't thank you enough for sharing your recipes and your family with us! May God Bless you and yours this Christmas and I pray you have a wonderful New Year!!! =)
I always use this recipe, Noreen!! Making my fruitcakes today and I see how old this video is. Today is 11/26/2022!! Look how cute you are!!🥰 I would love to bake this in a pullman pan. Do you think I could and how long would you cook it? Everyone loves this recipe....even the fruitcake haters!! Thank you! I'll be using this forever.
Same with me. My family only wants this cake made the Noreen way.
Oh yummy I was looking for a good recipe that's not so hard to make. Thanks for sharing I'm definitely gonna make this one!!!!
I would love a cookbook with all your desserts. This so good. Wont change a thing will be making soon. But bills has to be paid FIRST then play time. Thanks for recipe.
Hello Noreen! I love fruit cake but have never baked one. This will be one of my desserts for my 2017 Christmas dinner. I made one thing different, I don't like raisins cooked so I have a 6oz. bag of dried cranberries and I will use that. I don't know if it will taste good but I'm going to try it. Thank you for this recipe; it seemed so easy to whip up. Merry Christmas.
Noreen - good golly gal! What a great recipe and a great presentation! Merry Christmas!!
I loveeeee citron and citrus peel but your cake looks amazing!
I think it is an acquired taste. I just don't like the citron. Candied peel is alright in certain things. I make candied orange peel and love it. Especially dipped in chocolate! This fruit cake is amazing. I am probably going to make a new video of this recipe but in gem size.
Noreen's Kitche
I am just rewatching this video, related to your new request 😉, and the HFCS issue on the cherries, I give them a quick wash with very hot water over them through a sieve, it gets rid of a lot of that gummy ick syrup that they hold onto. Seems to work for me.
Thanks, Noreen!! LOVE IT!!!!
Noreen's looks good I will give it a try thanks for show me how to make it so thanks again I watch all your video.
I'm going to try this...The best and the easiest thus far...Thank You❤Happy New Year's❤❤😘
This is very similar to a recipe I found nearly 15 years ago - and lost! It made 2 loaves of fantastic fruity/nutty 'who needs cake' fruitcake that sustained me for an entire weekend at a sci fi convention (don't ask but oh, those were the days). I love and adore fruitcake and will make this just as soon as I finish eating that butter cake I made the other day. I wonder if you could lose weight just eating fruitcake. I'm willing to be the test subject. Thanks Noreen!
You are sooo delightful, I really enjoy cooking with you. :)
I like your videos!! Thank you for sharing!!
Hi Noreen, i wished I had seen your fruitcake recipe before I made mine (dry & crumbly). Me too hate cintron. Will make this for the chinese new year Yeayyy . Thanks for making this perfect recipe for us.
You have the recipe of Hawaiian fruit cake? Happy new year 2023 🎉🎉❤❤
@americangamefowl Well, there won't be any left of this one to pass off! Give it a try if you like fruit cake, all others can be shared like you explained.
I love Fruit Cake!! I said what I said! LOL
This fruit cake is a keeper. I don't even like fruitcake but I loved this one. I made it for someone else and it tasted so good I'm making one for myself. I really appreciate you taking your time and posting your recipe! If I could add a picture I would!
I love this fruitcake! Last Christmas I baked it off in muffin cups and it was awesome! When you do that it is easier to freeze and portion and look so pretty! Like little fruitcake gems! Maybe it's wrong to like your own cooking, but these are delicious! Thanks for commenting!
I made this years ago with my own substitutions and it was delicious! And I hated fruit cake
I have a question, I'm not sure if you could help but I figured since it's your recipe I may as well try! My cake has been in the oven since 11:28am and it's now 1:44pm and it still isn't finished, do I just need to leave it in longer or will that ruin it or should I take the pan of water out or? Thanks in advance!
Hi Noreen. I bake your cake every year. Everyone loves it. I used a cup of butter like in the list of ingredients but it looked like only a half cup of butter that you put into the mixer… I’m from another country where butter is packaged differently so maybe I’m
Mistaken. Can you please clarify the butter measurement? Thanks.
I put it in there, just forgot to do it on camera. Just go ahead and throw it in. Enjoy!
Do you have a recipe for old fashion boiled spice cake? My auntie use to make it.
Patricia Marks I believe you might be referring to Christmas Pudding. Delicious! In Scotland and in England I know put the dough in a cloth that lasts years and years. Many times this cloth is given as a Wedding gift. I love love love a wonderful boiled Christmas pudding. They take time to make and tons of love go into these works of art!
There is still time to make this amazing fruitcake to serve for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. This truly is a delicious cake. No citron or candied peel is my secret. I hate that stuff and think it truly makes for a disgusting cake. Who wants to eat bitter things on purpose? This cake is sweet and moist and delicious. You can just soak a with a little brandy or a little vanilla syrup or simple syrup and you are going to have a true holiday treat. I promise this will not last long!
Here is wishing you a truly joyous and magical holiday!
Noreen K SOOOOO GOOD!!
Yaaas!
That was a typo in the ingredients list. You should make it the way I did in the video with 1 stick of butter. Not one cup.
I,m one of those Americans that think fruit cake is delicious!
This one actually is! Even my girls ask for it every year!
My belief is that there is only one fruitcake in the world and people just pass it around. i.e. My mom gave me one last Christmas, this year I give it to someone else, then the following year they give it again etc
Noreen, you show in the ingredients that you put in1 tsp vanilla but I didn't see it in the video. Was it put in the ingredient list accidentally or left out accidentally in the video? (It looks so good... I have to try this!)
Ni Noreen! I am making this for my father who loves fruitcake. Did you use salted or unsalted butter? Does it matter? Thanks for sharing 😄
hi noreen, can i change the syrup to Rum instead?
@americangamefowl I do like a good fruitcake, though they are hard to find. I hope to try this recipe soon. The problem with your typical fruitcake is that they are very dry, this one shouldn't be
When did you add the spices, i didnt see it in the video. Would like to make one using your recipe.
She added the spices..it in there
Sandra Lopez she added them right after the flour, last ingredient before fruit & nuts
Nice recipe Noreen. I used your recipe as a template this evening....one pound of nuts (walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds, brazils and some seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)) and two pounds of fruit (rum soaked raisins, cherries, peel!!!, dried physalis, soft dried prunes, rum soaked fresh pineapple,) because this is what I had in the cupboard. Also a tsp of black treacle (don't worry, its a British thing). I think it has come out very well. Just wondering if you know whether this keeps as well as a traditional rich fruitcake that stores for decades?
very nicely done. Noreen have you ever wrapped a fruitcake in a cheese cloth soaked in Brandy. I will use your recipe this year for Christmas. Was wondering what u think about wrapping it with brandy soaked cheesecloth.
Noreen, this looks like a fruitcake I tasted and loved. It was soaked in rum and aged. I assume this one isn't aged. Is that right? Should the water on the oven rack be hot when placed into the oven?
thanks for sharing.
Bake at 275 degree means F or C ?
Hi. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas! Have you ever tried adding rum to ur fruitcake? Ur recipe is similar to my moms
. Her recipe called for rum, but she would omit rum because we were minors. Some years, she made a cake for the adults that had rum.
+positiveiris You could use the rum during the soaking process where I have used the vanilla syrup. I do not like alcohol in my baked goods so that is just a personal preference. You do what you prefer. You only brush the cake with about a tablespoon of rum every couple of days. too much will make the cake a mushy mess.
Hi Noreen, could I bake this fruit cake in a Bundt tin? I do not have a tube tin. The recipe sounds really delicious and I would love to try to bake it. Hope you have a great week.
Bunt is not revommended.
Norene I couldn't find the amount of spices to use I need to know the amounts ingredients to use please
Can the fruits be soaked beforehand.?
No need
Noreen, I just found this video. I want to try it so bad! But, I don't have either a spring form, or an angel food pan. Can I bake it in just a small glass Pyrex? It'll just be for my husband and myself. No need for fancy. Thanks
This is a large amount of batter. Needs to have an appropriate pan. Glass is not recommended. You can also make this in muffin tins or in two loaf pans.
Do you recall if you used a 10" or a 9" tube pan? The recipe looks great!
That would have been a 9 inch. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks so much Noreen for the reply! It does help a lot.
Thank you for the video, always wanted to make one but always been intimidated by it, you make it look so easy. Going to try it this weekend. Thanks again. Oh. What in the world is mace?.. I have heard of all of the other stuff but that’s a new on.
I like to do gems with this batter by baking in cupcake tins! I am doing a video of that uploaded soon!
Mace is a very pungent spice. I omit it for this recipe because it overwhelms. That's just me though. It is a wonderful (but expensive) spice.
Looks really good...Mom loves this stuff, I am going to have to make it. Merry Christmas!!
Hi Noreen can we use whisky (double black Johnny walker) for the fruit soak and drizzle on the fruit cake ? Hoe you can advise. Tk u!
Norreen
Ok so what if I found the holiday fruit mix in a container can I just add it to the dry ingredients since I don’t have to use each individual fruit ??
No. My recipe does not call for that fruitcake mixed fruit. It calls for a specific type of fruits. Not all of which are in that prepackaged mix. It will not turn out the same and will not be my recipe. I cannot also guarantee the final product because not all of my fruits are candied. The recipe may be thrown off by the high amount of sugar and syrup in the prepackaged fruit. Additionally the fruitcake mix contains a high amount of bitter citron which I personally find disgusting and the main reason that most people who do not like fruitcake do not like fruitcake. However many a fruitcake hater enjoys my recipe. Because the citron is not there. If you want to use the fruitcake mix, please find a recipe that calls for it. But if you have not yet made mine, I suggest you follow the recipe the way it is written for best results. Hope that helps.
@@noreenskitchenchannel thanks someone gave me the mix I’m just trying to find a use for it I already have yours on my list to make thanks
Where do we send our orders ? LOL
where can we buy on line a round metal box like that to store X-mas cakes ?
Look for cookie tins ..JoAnns Fabrics, craft stores...
noreen please type out or print the receipe its too hard trying towatch the video and constantly go back to get the ingredients. i love all your receipes and have been looking for a fruit cake one. thanks cheers from montreal quebec canada anne
It was posted on my website, you must have missed it. bit.ly/1xO6XXG enjoy.
+Noreen's Kitchen great recipe Queen Noreen!!
+Noreen's Kitchen he
+Noreen's Kitchen he
Quick question Noreen...your recipe says 1 cup of butter but you only use 1 stick in the video
@tom2579 thats great
I don’t like the clump of gold raisins, could you substitute a portion of quality mince meat?
No mincemeat is too wet and will not work in this recipe.
Whoa slow the scroll plz lol. I can’t wait to make one.
You can download the recipe. Link in description.
Hello, I’m looking for a recipe for a pack fruit cake no baking keep cool.
Never heard of that. Sorry
Your marzipan would be good on this cake.
@tom2579 go to her channel page and there is a button that says send message it will bring up a space to send an email to her here on youtube.

It's very difficult to understand you when the mixer is running!
I understand. I have another video for Fruitcake Gems that is the exact same recipe that is an updated version of the video that may be a little easier to understand. You may want to seek that out.
No Rum ???
I make mine alcohol free but you can feel free to soak yours in rum but it will need to be wrapping it in cheesecloth, placing it in a tin and giving it a good brushing with rum every week for six weeks prior to giving. Hope that helps.
omgosh... women instead of lemon mistakk.
I think on the introduction you should make the ingredients fly past a little bit faster. I can just about read them now.. 🙁
There is a link to the recipe in the description

It is not necessary to leave the camera on while your mixer is running.
Really? Wow.....Did you happen to see how old this video is? Very old. I have changed the way I do things now. I am sure you will be happy to hear that. In the mean time, please keep obvious comments to yourself. Thanks so much and have a Merry Christmas. P.S. You can always fast forward through the video by either using the slider at the bottom of the video player or if you are on a laptop or desktop you can use the right arrow button to advance in 30 second increments. Hope that helps.
