Studded generously with dried mixed fruits, this nut-free, deliciously dense and rich pumpkin fruitcake is easily made well in advance, which saves you valuable time when entertaining, and perfect with your morning or afternoon cuppa too. For extra depth and flavour, soak dried fruits in the alcohol of your choice (Port, rum, brandy or whisky-based liqueur) a week prior to making the cake. If you don't want to bake this in a cake pan, try to divide the batter in 6 jumbo muffin cups and bake for 40-50 minutes. Test for doneness by placing a wooden skewer in center of muffin. If it comes out clean, it is done. Be careful not to over bake. The cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week and much longer if you use alcohol.

- Grease a 22cm heart shaped or round spring-form pan thoroughly. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F.
- Whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder and salt together.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and coconut sugar until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until well combined.
- Add in vanilla paste, pumpkin puree and mixed fruits and stir until combined. Alternately fold in spelt flour mixture and milk until combined. The batter is rather thick.
- Spoon the batter into prepared pan and smooth surface. Bake for 1½ hours or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.

the color of pumpkin makes this cake stand out..looks delicious!!
It sounds really nice. I usually love nuts in fruitcakes, but I would be more than happy to try one without nuts too.
...but the nuts can be the best part!
I love it!....I never thought to combine pumpkin with dry fruits in a cake....fantastic!!......Abrazotes, Marcela
Oooo I love that you combined pumpkin with this classic treat! Sounds delicious!
that crust color is so delicious looking I just want to dive in and take a slice .. wonderful golden perfection right there!
If this fruitcake did not look amazing enough, I absolutely was astonished with the part about soaking in alcohol.- rum would be my choice. This sounds decadent and I love the heart shape.
Cute and tasty!
This is beautiful. I have yet to make a dried fruit cake with pumpkin puree.
MY kind of fruit cake! With ginger, cranberries and apricots, I'd have to hide it from myself, LOL. Plus the heart springform pan is so fun!
Beautiful and delicious looking fruit cake. For me, I would love lots of nuts and fruits.
Such a cute heart shape, looks so moist and yummy!
Absolutely pinned the beauty !
This sounds wonderful. I love anything baked with pumpkin - it adds so much moistness! I’m making pumpkin rolls on Christmas Day. I haven’t made them since I used to cater. And they’re pretty, too! Love the combination of fruits you used in this. Merry Christmas!
What a fun fruitcake! Great idea using pumpkin. I have some candied ginger that might find a home in this, too. :-) Neat recipe -- thanks.
Oh, that looks delicious, Angie! I love that it can be made in advance too!
It looks delicious. I'll note that recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you'll visit my blog soon. Have a nice day!
I would love to try a piece! I adore fruitcake and yours is a modern version... Have to bake one day :-)
I love the idea of pumpkin in a fruit cake. I would only make one change and that is to add some pecans to the mix but that is just me. 😊
This pumpkin fruitcake is such a great holiday dessert!

I love fruitcake, but I'm sitting here wondering how I have never had a pumpkin fruitcake! This is genius and it looks absolutely fantastic!!! I would totally eat this for breakfast and dessert!! YUM!
I love that you made this cake with pumpkin. Fruitcake needs a comeback, I think!
Ohhh thats a good idea, using pumpkins on fruitcake! It will definitely make it more interesting and definitely moist
I'm loving those generous chunks of dried fruit in each bite. I can't believe it, but I've never worked with vanilla paste. I just bought some last week and have wondering how to use it. Now I know. :-) ~Valentina
How I wish to wake up to this fruitcake breakfast on Christmas day!
Festive fruit cake, the texture looks beautiful.Perfect holiday dessert.
Beautiful. Making my fruitcake today, and this is inspiration. I love that you added pumpkin puree for moistness.
lovely cake...love nuts.
Happy healthy holiday
Fruity pumpkin cake sounds like a splendid idea. I love the colour that pumpkin puree gives cakes. I finally managed to get hold of a couple of tins, so I won't have to make my own next time I want to bake with some.
