MAMMA'S ICEBOX FRUITCAKE

My family doesn't really like the traditional fruitcake, but will eat this like crazy. The thing I like most about it is that it freezes really good. You can make it a month in advance, freeze, defrost and serve later. Cook time is actually chill time.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 275 degrees. Butter five 6-by-2-inch round cake pans. Butter five strips of 18-by-3-inch parchment paper to form a collar for each pan.
  • Cream butter and 2 cups sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in molasses and 2 cups of candied fruit, blending well. Remove batter to a large bowl and add one-quarter of the nuts. Sift in flour and allspice 1 cup at a time, mixing well between additions. Add remaining candied fruit and nuts, stirring with a spoon. Divide batter evenly among pans; bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. While still warm, brush with 1/3 cup brandy mixed with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Let cool on wire rack.
  • Gently remove cakes from pans and remove paper collars. Decorate cakes with glaceed fruits and candied cherries and kumquats. Heat apricot jam and remaining 1/3 cup brandy in a small saucepan over medium heat. Strain and brush over fruits to hold in place.

1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
12 large eggs
1/2 cup molasses
4 pounds candied and dried fruits, such as citron, lemon peel, orange peel, sour cherries, apricots, and golden raisins, chopped, divided (12 cups)
2 pounds nuts, such as walnuts and pecans, coarsely chopped (8 cups)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground allspice
2/3 cup brandy, divided
Glaceed fruits, such as figs, oranges, pears, apricots, peaches, and pineapple, for garnish
Candied cherries and kumquats, for garnish
1 cup apricot jam

It's nothing like a traditional fruitcake. It's is actually a chocolate cake topped with fruit. The pineapple called for in the recipe should be the type packed in water, not syrup. The topping is way to sweet, otherwise. The cake also tastes better if you allow it to sit a few hours so everything soaks in before serving.
