Mrs. Allingham's Light Fruitcake

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup fruit sugar
• 4 large eggs (or 5 medium eggs)
• 2 34 cups flour
• 12 teaspoon baking powder
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 1 lb bleached sultana raisins
• 14 lb citrus peel
• 1 slice green candied pineapple
• 12 lb candied red cherries
• 1 lemon, juice and rind of

1. Cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating very thoroughly after each.
2. Put one cup of the flour on fruit (I guess it is assumed that you knew you had to cut the pineapple ring up); stir.
3. Beat remaining flour into butter/egg mixture; then add lemon juice and rind (I'm guessing you would chop it first, or have it as zest; Mrs. Allingham didn't say).
4. Stir fruit mixture inches.
5. Bake at 250 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
6. Note: this is how the recipe is worded; my guess is that the batter should go into greased and floured pans, or even pans lined with buttered brown paper.
