• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 4 teaspoons bourbon or brandy

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. Stir together flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; add sugar and next 3 ingredients, tossing to break up any clusters of dried fruit. Add egg, stirring until blended. Press batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake at 325u0b0 for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Lift fruitcake from pan, using parchment paper sides as handles, and cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour).
