Sift flour with spice. Cream butter until soft and smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract, beating thoroughly. Add flour-spice mixture gradually. Chop all fruit and nuts. Roll or toss in part of the flour to coat them. Gradually add to cake batter. Turn into well-greased loaf pans or molds that have been lined with greased brown paper (may use buttered waxed paper or buttered parchment baking paper). Bake in slow oven (250°) for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until done.
