This is so interresting...Why don't make a contest to post the direction for this one...?


Good idea, Ahmed, though I'm sure you would win!!


This is wonderful. Your antique recipes always give me a visual of women long ago cooking for their families. Can see a wedding taking place 100 years ago and everyone celebrating and enjoying this cake afterward. Great post as usual!


That's great! I think you could divide this recipe by 10 and still get a nice big fruit cake.

Sorry, guys--I just saw over a TON of cake and thought, "WHY?!"
