Time 1h30m

Yield 3 loaf cakes

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 15-ounce package raisins
2 cups golden raisins
1 cup currants
10 ounces mixed candied fruits
1 6-ounce mixture of glazed pears, peaches, apricots, figs and dates, cut up
1/3 cup candied pineapple
1 cup chopped pecans
4 ounces slivered almonds
1/2 cup bourbon or Port
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 pound butter
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
Grated rind of 2 lemons
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 12-ounce jar apricot preserves
1/2 cup rum
6 to 8 tablespoons bourbon
1 pound confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons softened butter

Steps:

  • Combine the raisins, currants, candied fruits, glazed fruits, candied pineapple, pecans and almonds with the bourbon and brandy in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight, or if possible, for two days.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, one-third cup of all-purpose flour, grated lemon rind, almond and vanilla extracts until well blended. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift together one cup of all-purpose flour, one cup of cake flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon together. Add to the batter and beat until well mixed. Combine batter with the fruit and nut mixture, mixing well.
  • Grease three 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch pans. Line the bottoms and sides with aluminum foil; grease the foil. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing tops.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until the centers spring back when lightly pressed. If tops are browning too fast, cover lightly with buttered foil.
  • While the cakes are baking, bring the apricot preserves to a hard boil and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and while they are still hot, sprinkle with the rum. Then brush with the hot apricot jam.
  • Mix enough bourbon with confectioners' sugar and butter to make a frosting that is thin enough to spread on top of the apricot jam while the cakes are still warm.
  • Cool cakes in pans on wire rack. Allow frosting to dry. Remove cakes from pans; peel off foil. Cool completely. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate. Cake should be sliced chilled.

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c all purpose flour
1 lb butter, softened, room temperature
1 lb candied cherries, halved
2 oz pure lemon extract (4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup)
2 c sugar
6 extra large eggs, separated
4 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 250 DEGREES F. Line a 12 cup bundt pan with greased parchment paper or brown paper bag, & then dust with flour, and set aside. NOTE: With improvements in technology over the years, you can now spray pan liberally with Bakers Joy, and eliminate the use of the Brown Paper Bag.
  • 2. Cream butter & sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 3. Gradually add the flour, a little at a time. Stir in the cherries and pecans. When the batter becomes stiff, add the lemon extract, mixing well until blended.
  • 4. I prefer using both green & red cherries to add extra color to the cake.
  • 5. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, but are not dry. Fold into the cake batter until blended. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake in preheated 250 degree F. oven for 2 1/2 hours.
  • 6. Cool the cake in pan on a rack for 1 hour. Invert cake onto rack. Remove liner, and cool completely, right- side up.
  • 7. This recipe is dedicated to the memory of my mother Barbara S. Goldmon, my first culinary instructor, that had so much patience to teach me what she knew how to do best. She made this cake for as long as I can remember, and each time I make it, it reminds me of her, and her true patience. If you want to know patience try cooking this cake at 250 degrees for 2 and a half hours in a wood stove, where you need to constantly add wood to maintain the temperature. That's patience my friend. Here is to you mama with love.
  • 8. I just made this cake for the first time WITHOUT THE BROWN PAPER BAG, OR PARCHMENT PAPER. I used the BAKERS JOY, AND THE CAKE TURNED OUT WONDERFULLY. jUST THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. I have made it for years strickly as it was written, but now I know if I use BAKERS JOY, I do not need the parchment paper or brown bag. YIPPEE.
  • 9. This is a sliced platter of this delicious cake.
