Holiday Pound Cake
This is another one of my Meme’s recipes. Leave out all that weird candied fruit and I’d probably eat this!
Ingredients
6 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 pound light brown sugar
1 pound butter (no substitutions!), softened
1/2 pound candied cherries
1/2 pound candied pineapple
2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325ºF.
Cream butter and sugar. Slowly add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
Stir in flour, sugar and salt. Last, mix in nuts, cherries, and pineapple.
Bake one hour or until wooden skewer poked in cake comes out clean.
