This isn't your typical Christmas Fruitcake. Its a cake filled with fruit. The recipe calls for strawberries but I've used different fruit if you would like. I got this recipe from The Active Woman's Cookbook that my mom had. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
1 teaspoon lemon extract |
1 2/3 cups sifted cake flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup milk |
confectioners' sugar |
sliced and sweetened strawberry |
heavy cream, whipped |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in eggs, one at ta time, beating well after each addition.
3. Add lemon zest and extract.
4. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
5. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beating with mixer at medium speed.
6. Begin and end with dry ingredients.
7. Pour batter into a greased and floured 6 1/2 cup ring mold.
8. Bake in a 325 oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
9. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
10. Loosen edges and invert.
11. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
12. Fill center with strawberries and top with whipped cream.
