Japanese Fruitcake Recipe

	Kimichka25 / All my dishes 4 weeks, 1 day ago Great fruitcake for the traditional fruitcake hater, like myself. This version is lighter and doesn't have that weird candied fruit stuff in it. People will actually eat this instead of using it for a doorstop. It will keep for a while... it's best... More Prep:30m Cook:40m Servings:16	Kimichka25

3/4 Pound Butter

2 C. Sugar

5 Eggs

3 C. Flour

3 tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Allspice

1 tsp Cinnamon

2 tsp. Vanilla

2/3C. White Raisins (you could also use chopped dates)

2/3 C. Chopped Pecans

1/2 C. Milk

Frosting:

Juice of 4 Lemons (5 if they're small)

1 C. Unsweetened Flaked Coconut

1 1/4 C. Sugar

1 1/4 C. Water

2 Tbs. Cornstarch

Directions

For the Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees

Prepare round cake pans (grease and flour)

Cream the butter and add sugar gradually.

Incorporate eggs 1 at a time.

Into a bowl sift : The flour and baking powder.

Blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture.

Add the milk.

Now divide the batter in half.

In one half stir in the allspice, cinnamon and raisins.

Into the second half stir in the pecans and vanilla.

Pour into the pans and bake until golden brown..

For the frosting:

Mix the lemon juice, coconut, sugar and water in a pot over medium heat.

Bring to a boil and thicken with cornstarch.

After the cake layers have cooled, frost between the layers, the top and the sides.

If there's too much to fit into 2 round cake pans, you can always combine the remaining batters and bake them in a third together.
