- 1 Lb. butter 1 lb. brown sugar 12 Large eggs separated 4 c. flour 2 tsp. each cinnamon, mace, cloves (this is what makes it dark) 1 tsp. each allspice, nutmeg, salt (this too) 1 lb. mixed candied fruit 1 lb. candied cherries 1 lb. seeded raisins 1 lb. seedless raisins 1 lb. currants 1 lb. pitted dates, cut in pcs 1/2 lb. diced citron (optional) I would leave this out citron is very strong tasting and this is what people usually don't like in fruitcake. Use candied pineapple instead. 1 lb. broken walnuts 1 c. rum or possibly brandy 1/2 c. double-strength coffee grated peel and juice of 3 medium sized oranges grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
- Cream together butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add in well beaten egg yolks and stir vigorously till smooth and creamy. Sift flour, measure, and sift with spices. Combine candied fruit, cherries, seeded raisins, seedless raisins, currants, dates, pineapple and walnuts, and mix lightly with 1 c. of the spiced flour. Add in remaining flour to batter, blending alternately with mix of rum, coffee, and fruit peel and juices. Add in fruit and nut mix and mix well. Beat egg whites till they hold stiff peaks, then fold into batter. Butter 4 loaf pans (5 X 9) line with brown paper and butter again, Spoon in batter. Bake in a very slow oven 250 for 3 hrs 30 min or possibly till a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. (I would put a shallow pan filled with water on the bottom shelf of the oven.)
