Not your average fruit cake, this one is made with cream cheese and is a family favorite. A hot cup of tea and a slice of this is so good.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless, and the frosting was too sweet.
