Every holiday season I cook the Christmas fruitcake and as soon as it gets closer and closer to the date, it’s a time to share the recipe. This cake is pretty easy to cook and it gets eaten super-fast. All you need is just dried fruits and nuts and a Christmas magic for sure.

Walnuts and almonds (mix – the whole cup)
Raisins (the cup)
Dried cranberries (the cup)
All dried fruits you like (it might be cherries, pineapples, etc.)
1-1/2 cups brandy
1/2 cup flour (I prefer to use the coconut flour)
Instructions:
Dredge all fruit, nuts, and brandy in half a cup of flour and let stand on the counter, covered, overnight.
Ingredients for cake:
Butter 450 grams
1 cup of brown sugar
