Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 lb white raisins (seedless)
1 cup blanched almond
1 cup candied red cherries
1 cup candied green cherries
1 cup candied pineapple
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1

Stir some flour into fruit mixture so it doesn't stick together. I use a little (like a tablespoon from the 2 1/4 cups for the cake).
2

Cream the butter, sugar and eggs.
3

Mix together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed ingredients.
4

Stir in the fruit and nuts (I usually omit the nuts) and add more fruit to make up the volume.
5

Bake in a 300oF oven for an hour, but check the cake for doneness with a wooden tooth pick to make sure it is cooked.
6

My mother's only directions are: bake at 300oF for a little longer than an hour and mix together like a cake.
