Instructions: Gluten-Free Fruitcake Recipes

  • Step 1: Put raisins, golden raisins, cranberries, and cherries in a bowl. Pour rum and orange juice over dried fruit. Set aside.
  • Step 2: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Step 3: Whisk brown rice flour, almond meal, potato and tapioca starches, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and ginger together in a bowl. Set aside 3 tablespoons of this mixture. Add baking powder to remaining larger portion; mix well.
  • Step 4: Combine orange zest, dates, figs, and 1/4 cup candied mixed fruit in a bowl. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons reserved flour mixture and toss to coat.
  • Step 5: Beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in applesauce.
  • Step 6: Drain dried fruit, reserving soaking liquid. Add drained fruit to date mixture and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon reserved flour mixture.
  • Step 7: Mix soaking liquid into butter mixture. Gradually add flour mixture, stirring just until combined; do not overmix. Fold in hazelnuts, walnut halves, and pecan halves.
  • Step 8: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Decorate top with almonds and candied fruit slices.
  • Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 290 degrees F (145 degrees C). Continue baking until browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes more.
  • Step 10: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Brush cherry brandy on top. Let cake rest 24 hours for best results.
