Ingredients:
Nan’s Birthday Cake - Fruit Cake
Recipe:
1 cup molasses ½ cup brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine ¼ tsp sea salt
2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp all-spice
½ cup dates ½ cup walnuts
1 cup cherries 2 cups raisins
1 cup currents ½ cup mixed peel
2 large eggs 3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ hot water
Method:
In a large bowl add top 12 ingredient’s! Molasses, brown sugar, butter, sea salt, baking soda, all-spice, dates, walnuts, chopped cherries, raisins, currents and mixed peel.
Then pour ¾ cup hot water over all those ingredient’s and toss together.
Let cool to room temperature, then in a small bowl crack eggs and lightly mixed, then add to other ingredient’s in the large bowl.
Sift in flour and mix well.
Grease a bunt pan or spring release pan and line with a piece of parchment paper, scoop batter into pan and smooth out. Tap the pan a few times on the counter to release any bubbles in mixture.
Preheat oven to 325ºF and put pan in centre rack, bake for 45 minutes to one hour, depending on your oven. Check cake at 45 minute by poking a toothpick in the centre or side, if clean remove from oven. If not continue baking for another few minutes until ready.
White Old Fashioned Icing:
Recipe:
2 cups confectioners sugar ½ cup butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract ¼ cup milk or less
Method:
In a bowl add butter and cream well, then add confectioners sugar, vanilla and gradually mix in the milk until a soft and firm icing forms. ( NOT RUNNY )
When cake is totally at room temperature add the icing to the top or all around. Decorate the way you like.
Bonita’s Tips:
Mixed peel is the peel of a orange and lemon, chopped in small pieces.
Use a fancy molasses, sometimes a dark cooking molasses can be bitter.
Using a bunt pan cooks the middle faster then a spring released pan.
Special Notice!
Recipe was given to so by a viewer ( Joy ) it was her grandmother recipe one she would make for them. It was given to her and she said she haven’t made it because her family don’t like fruit cake but she did enjoy it when her grandmother made it for them years ago.

Never thought of baking my fruit cake in a bundt pan. Thankyou for sharing this recipe.
Nice! My reasonings for that is the middle gets equal heat and everything bake even. Plus it looks nice. :) Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our new recipe to the fullest!!! :) Bonita
I've always wanted this recipe. A friend shared this with me years ago
Thank you
I take it as a birthday cake for me. Even though my birthday isn't until October
I need an old fashioned pie crust recipe.
No ingredients had to be cold.
The crust did not have to go in the fridge. The pie was done and put in the oven right away.
My mom made this pie.
I'm from St. Margaret's
Bay
Do you have a cook book with a recipe like this pie

I absolutely love fruit cakes and the spice in it is so beautiful and fragrant. Walnuts in cakes yummo. I actually just picked up dates and walnuts for a loaf cake I want to make this week. My dad’s bday would be tomorrow. My father in laws was the 20th and hubbys was the 21st. Lots of great people born in August. I hope your mom has a wonderful bday. Wow it looked beautiful and I love boiled icing . Thank you Bonita and Raymond for this lovely video. Blessings to you both and your families. And I love the vintage plate that belong to Raymond’s mother. Have a beautiful week you two.
Happy Birthday to all! My mom was born on her moms birthday so it is double special to us. Mom cut her cake in chucks and wrapped it well to freeze. She only takes out one piece each time, haha she didn't offer any to anyone because it was her favourite. She got another cake to give out...haha. Thank you Jerri-ellen for your lovely message and for stopping by. We always love to see your message. Blessing from Newfoundland and have a lovely week ahead. :) Your neighbour!!! Bonita
Another great video i was comming to Newfoundland to visit family in Twillinggate and Fortune bay, but was stuck with BELL PASLY on thursday, had to cancel my trip , disappointed big time, but lucky enough to get my Newfoundland feeling by watching your video, you guys are just great, thank you for uplifting this old feller with your recipes.
Oh my gosh!! I'm so sorry to hear. Sending well wishes your way and please God you will take that trip another time. Fall is lovely here too or even try again next summer. We just had both our kids and their families visit this summer and it was so uplifting for both of us. We don't get to see them often and we just soaked up ever minute with them all. Take care my friend and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita
Oh bonita, thank you so much , I was looking for a fruit cake for Christmas,but all the ones I found had rum, this one looks delicious, I will definitely be trying this one, love you and raymond, have a great day also
I'm so glad you stopped by and enjoyed our new recipe. This recipe is a old one and it tastes amazing. Fruit cake is one of my favourite and my mom can live on it!! Haha. Enjoy to the fullest!! Bonita
It looks great! I love cakes that have a chew to them so that I don't just inhale them! Thank you for the recipe.
I know right! You are very welcome and thank you Patricia for stopping by.. This is indeed a very tasty cake and my Mom is over the moon with hers. :) Bonita
So wonderful! I've got allspice in my cupboard so I can make my own smellovision😊
Haha that is so lovely!! Your the best and thank you for stopping by....I know this time of year is too warm for fruit cake or any baking but I thought it would be a lovely cake for my Moms birthday she just turned 84. Enjoy and thank you for stopping by... :) Bonita
How adorable you singing Happy Birthday to everyone and blowing out the candles. I didn't do anything on my birthday a few weeks ago, so I am going to pretend that was for me. hehe ... Happy day to you and those dear to you!!
Nice!! Happy belated birthday to you and anyone who just let their birthday slide by. We so appreciate you stopping by and have a lovely day. :) Bonita
Delicious! Thank you!😊
Not that your channel is tiny but am not sure why it isn't bigger either :( You are very authentic and your love comes thru all your videos and your recipes are delicious too ! Thanks for your work Bonita & Raymond
Haha that is so wonderful!! I think coconut and reese's sounds lovely in a fruit cake or any cake. :) Thank you Randy for your lovely message and for stopping by. We both love sharing our love of cooking to all of our viewers to enjoy. Raymond enjoys his part of work taping, and sampling food. :) Bless you and enjoy our new recipe to the fullest!! Bonita
Oh my goodie!! That looks amazing. I love “old fashioned” recipes. I was looking for a fruit cake recipe last Christmas but didn’t find one that I liked. Well, I think I just found it! Thank you, Bonita and Raymond.
Bonita, if I did want to put rum in this, how much would I add? Would I have to change how much all-spice I use? IMO, a true fruit cake has rum in it. But what do I know? 🤣😂🤣 Thanks, guys! ❤️
Hi and thank you for stopping by and for enjoying our new recipe for a birthday fruit cake. You can add rum to it during the mixing stage and over the cake after it is completely cool down. Wrap it in parchment paper and foil wrap to lock in those flavours. I will also share with you our dark rum fruit cake recipe from a few years ago....so good!!! www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/dark-rum-fruitcake-traditional-newfoundland/ enjoy to the fullest!!! Bonita

Hi bonita, I don't know if this is the place to ask this but I was just wandering if you know if you can flash free cucumbers, and use them when you have time to make pickles, I've seen that you can ,but I don't want to ruin my cucumbers, but can't use them right now, thanks
Hi Linda, Thank you for your question and for stopping by.. I cut my cucumbers in cubes and slices to use in soups, stews and for making loafs and cookies. I haven't removed then to pickle. This will preserve them up to six to nine months in freezer bags so they don't get freezer burn or lose there flavour. When thawed they are soft but still good. I hope this helps and have a lovely day. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen thanks bonita, you too
What time is the party? My Invitation got lost in the mail.
Haha you are the best and thank you for stopping by..I'm so glad you enjoyed our new recipe today!! Bonita
What is in the jar?
What I mean by in a jar is!! When you make your boiled icing put the base mixture in a mason jar to cool down and then put in the fridge to cold down totally. Then the next day or a few hours add the other ingredients to make a icing. This is the link.... th-cam.com/video/HJmNCi3Sxn4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dTJYgjbAzQhPZvmY enjoy :) Bonita
Well my Birthday falls in August too. I would feel so blessed to have a daughter spoil me for my birthday 🎊
What a beautiful daughter you are❤. Happy birthday 🎂 to your mom. I will be making this cake. 🍰. Love fruit cake ❤❤
Happy bday to you hope. My husband’s was the 21st 🤗 Hope you are well my friend
Aww! I just seen your message and thank you for your lovely message and Happy Belated Birthday to you!! My Mom is my world and I love spoiling her for sure. She is 84 and I try to enjoy every moment with her. Hope you get to make this cake sometime and thank you for stopping by and enjoying our channel.. :) Bonita
I must say I didn't care for this one but that's on me and not the cake. It was just not what I was expecting flavour wise. I guess I'm just too used to the super sweet cakes we have today.
That is totally ok and you haven't got to like all my recipes we post. This is a special recipe to me because it was for my Mom's 84th birthday and it is her favourite cake. Thank you for stopping by and come back again to see more of our Sunday recipes each week. :) Bonita
Looks good. I’m a defender of all fruit cakes. It gets such a bad rap😢
I know right!! Growing up here in NL we mostly had fruit cakes at Christmas time. But over the years now my mom is 84 she may ask me to make one for her in July!! This one I gave to her for her Birthday and she just loved it. They freeze well and taste amazing every time. All the best and thank you for stopping by..check out this weeks recipe for sweet mustard pickles when you get time.. th-cam.com/video/yyvqd2pmGRQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I9XouD3h_NGxBD2v enjoy :) Bonita
I’m going to put that, except I’m going to use a rectangular sheet pan and spell out ‘Happy Birthday’ in the fruits that’s in the cake...otherwise, to me, it doesn’t spell birthday cake.
