Easy Christmas Cake


THIS CAKE IS A RICH, DARK, MOIST FRUIT CAKE, VERY FLAVORFUL AT CHRISTMAS. TRY ICING WITH ALMOND PASTE FOR A MORE FESTIVE TOUCH. THIS RECIPE IS STARTED IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER SO AS TO LET IT MELLOW BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS.

 I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock.

INGREDIENTS :

2 (8 ounce) containers candied cherries

1 (8 ounce) container candied mixed citrus peel

2 cups raisins

1 cup dried currants

1 cup dates, pitted and chopped

2 (2.25 ounce) packages blanched slivered almonds

1/2 cup brandy

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter

2 cups packed brown sugar
