Ingredients
- 1 pound butter
- 2 C sugar
- 10 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 1/2 C flour
- 1/2 C sherry or brandy
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 c flour
- 2 packages candied fetus mix
- 1 C raisins (golden, if possible)
- 1 C chopped nuts
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.
- Place a pan of water on bottom shelf of oven.
- Generously grease pans, line with brown paper, then with waxed paper. Trim to 1/4" from the top of pan. Perhaps use parchment paper? This recipe was written a while ago.
- Cream butter, add sugar and mix well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add vanilla, the 3 1/2 C of flour, baking powder, and sherry/brandy.
- In separate bowl, mix together fruits, raisins and nuts. Mix with the 1/2 C flour so fruits don't stick together.
- Add to cake mixture, mixing well so fruits are equally distributed.
- Fill pans about 3/4 full.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes, then lower heat to 300 deg. F for 45 minutes.
