Time 1h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup mixed deluxe candied fruit
1/2 cup maraschino cherry, drain on paper towel

Steps:

With electric beaters, cream butter and cream cheese.
Add sugar mix well.
Beat in zest and vanilla.
Add eggs, one at a time beat well after each addition.
Reserve 1/4 cup flour.
Sift remaining flour with baking powder and blend into creamed mixture.
In a small bowl combine both kinds of raisins, candied fruit and maraschino cherries; toss with the 1/4 cup flour. (The cherries I like to leave whole--I think they look nice when the cake is cut, but its up to you to either leave them whole or chop them.).
Stir fruit into batter.
Pour into greased and floured 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
Bake 300°F for 70-80 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
I have made this cake in loaf pans (2) (Bake time for loaf is 45-55 minutes) which allows me to cut them into smaller servings and I put them on my Christmas goodie trays. This cake freezes well.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best results. Fresh fruits and vegetables will give your cake a more vibrant flavor and color.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions. Don't overbake or underbake the cake, as this will affect its texture and flavor.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting.
Be creative with your frosting. You can use a variety of frostings, such as buttercream, cream cheese, or ganache, to create a unique and delicious cake.
