Directions

  1. 1
    To help keep fruit and nuts from settling to the bottom, put them in a plastic bag and add about 1/2 cup of the flour to it and gently shake them up.

    Remember that the 1/2 cup of flour is here and make the adjustment in the 3 cup called for in the recipe.

    Grease loaf pans and line with brown paper (I use 2- 9x5x3 pans).

    Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours in 275-300 degree oven.
  7. 7
    Cool on wire rack.
  8. 8
    Right now, these cakes are not fit to eat.
  9. 9
    I wrap mine in wax paper, then put in bread wrapper and put in a cool dry place (not refrigerator).
  10. 10
    I check them in a week.
  11. 11
    The next week one will get cut.
  12. 12
    After that one is gone, if no one comes by pretty soon, I cut the next one.
