White Fruit Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sugar
1/2 lb. butter
5 eggs
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 oz. bottle each: vanilla and lemon extracts
3/4 lb. candied pineapple, chopped
3/4 lb. candied cherries, chopped
1 pt. broken pecans

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar.
Add lightly beaten eggs, then the flour and baking powder that have been sifted together.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the flour mixture.
Add extracts.
Dredge the candied fruits in the reserved 1/4 cup of flour.
Fold in fruit and pecans into the batter and pour into a greased and floured tube or Bundt pan.
(I use Pam spray which I spray on liberally.)
Place in a cold oven and bake at 250\u00b0 for approximately 3 1/2 hours or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
(When my cake has cooled, I remove it from the pan, turn it right side up and make numerous holes in the top with a toothpick.
I then pour either bourbon, rum or peach brandy into the holes.
Finally, I wrap the cake in tinfoil and place in covered cake plate.)
