Instructions

1
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring orange juice to a simmer. Add dried fruit, and let simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
Line a pan with parchment paper and lightly grease. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, orange zest, and salt.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Set mixer to medium-low, add eggs one at a time, and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
4
Add dry ingredients and mix on slow speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl, add ½ cup orange juice and mix on low speed, about 15 seconds. Gently fold in nuts, soaked fruit, and any remaining juice in the bowl.
5
Evenly spread dough into prepared pan and load into bottom zone. Enter cook settings and set to Cook Now or Schedule.
