I always use Alison Holst's pineapple one too, but an going to try butter icing this time.

Very Easy Fruitcake - Jo Seager

1kg mixed dried fruit
2 tsp mixed spice
2 cups pure orange juice (from carton is fine)
2 cups self raising flour

Frosting
125g butter
2 tbsp brandy
3 cups icing sugar

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Spray 23 cm cake tin
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, transfer to cake tin. Bake one hour then turn oven down to 150 degrees
Bake a further 45-60 minutes, until skewer is clean, cake comes away at sides and firm to touch
Cool in tin for an hour before turning out onto cake rack.

Make Frosting
Beat butter and brandy together with 2 cups icing sugar. Then add as much as needed from third cup to make a fluffy frosting. Ice onto cake. Leave for 3-4 hours for frosting to set before serving
I wanted this to Grandma so I googled it.sharing it with anyone else who wants it
