I came across this recipe when going through an old recipe box. It was filed under Christmas Specials . I probably haven't made this in over 30 years, but do remember that it was a yearly treat. I don't remember where I found it originally, but it's quite possibly an old Robin Hood recipe. Back then, I used to get a lot of pamphlets from RH. I'll have to make this again. Would be perfect for out cribbage get togethers. :D Ingredients:
1 cup butter, room temperature |
1 cup fruit sugar |
4 eggs, room temperature |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
1 3/4 cups flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup candied fruit, finely chopped |
2 teaspoons flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300*. Grease loaf pan.
2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time.
4. Add lemon juice and zest.
5. Mix together flour and baking powder.
6. Toss fruit with 2 tsp of flour, and fold into batter.
7. Bake for 1 hour, or until cake tests done.
