Skillet Fruit Cake Twist

Dense, rich fruit cake cooked in cast iron skillet. Mix of dried nuts and fruits simmered in spiced citrus-sherry syrup before combining with flour and eggs. Cinnamon and nutmeg anchor the flavors; swapped amaretto for Grand Marnier, swapped muscade for allspice. Slightly less sugar, added orange blossom water for subtle aroma. Baking time adjusted to 40-50 minutes, watching for golden crust and clean toothpick. Luscious, moist interior with toasted hazelnuts. Keeps well a week wrapped tightly—better day two when flavors marry fully.
