Answer 1

Oh come ooonnnnnn, cakemix? for shame, for shame

California Fruitcake

Makes 2 in 9x5x3-inch pans, or 5 in 5x3x2-inch pans

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup clover honey
6 extra large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
grated peel of 1 large orange
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups each diced prunes, diced dried figs, dates, apricots, yellow raisins and chopped walnuts -- 15 cups in all! (Be sure to buy dried fruit which has already been pitted.)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Grease loaf pans well. Line the bottoms of metal pans with waxed paper or parchment. Grease the lining.

Cream butter until fluffy. Beat in honey. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, orange peel, flour and baking powder.

Beat until smooth and well blended. Fold in fruit and nuts.

Spoon mixture into pans. Press to eliminate air spaces, and smooth the top. Cover pans with greased foil. Bake at 275 degrees F. for 1-1/2 hours. (1 hour for smaller pans.) Remove foil, raise temperature to 300 degrees F., bake 1 hour more (1/2 hour).

Cool in pan(s) for 15 minutes. Then remove from the pans to a cooling rack and cool with the top side up. Remove paper.

Wrap cakes in rum soaked cheesecloth, then foil. Store in cool, dry place.
