White Fruitcake
- 5 eggs, beaten
- 2 c. plain flour
- 2 Tbsp. vanilla
- 2 Tbsp. lemon flavoring
- 1 lb. candied pineapple, cut small
- 1 lb. candied cherries, halved
- 4 c. chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/2 lb. butter
- 1 to 2 c. golden raisins
- Flour fruit, raisins and nuts (I use a pastry sheet to do this).
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add beaten eggs.
- Add flavoring. Combine with flour mixture (I also do this on the pastry sheet). Prepare an 8-inch round by 5 or 6-inch deep cake pan by cutting 2 layers of brown paper to fit in the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- Grease each layer with Crisco.
- Bake at 300u0b0 for about 1 1/2 hours or until done (when shrinks from side of pan) or begin in cold oven at 250u0b0 for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Place pan of water on rack below cake.
