Let’s be honest, you opened this recipe because you either love fruitcake or you love to hate it. Hold the snark ‘cause once you try a freshly baked slice that’s spiked with Celebration IPA, you’ll curse the cake no more.
Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix
1 cup Celebration Fresh Hop IPA
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1.5 cup nuts (chopped walnuts, pecan halves)
2.5 cups dried fruit (cherries, raisins, chopped dates, chopped pineapple)
1/4 cup flour
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and line them with parchment.
Step 2
Combine nuts, dried fruit, and flour in a large mixing bowl. Toss well to coat evenly.
Step 3
In another large mixing bowl, combine spice cake mix, Celebration IPA, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat for 3 minutes. Fold in fruit-and-nut mixture.
Step 4
Pour batter evenly into loaf pans and bake for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5
Let cool in pan. When cakes are completely cool, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
