Dec. 27th is National Fruitcake Day. Since I will be away thought post this old recipe from "Old Time Recipes To Enjoy", "The Kentucky Explorer", Dec. 2018.
Southern Fruit Cake
"One Cup of sugar, three eggs, one cup of Crisco, one teaspoon of powdered cinnamon, one cup of molasses, one half cup of sour cream, one cup seeded raisins, three cups of flour, one half cup of currants, one teaspoon salt, one fourth teaspoon grated nutmeg. one half teaspoon of baking soda, one half teaspoon of powdered cloves, one half teaspoon powdered allspice. Cream Crisco and sugar thoroughly together, add molasses, sour cream, flour, soda, well beaten eggs, salt, spices, and fruit. Mix well and turn in greased covered and papered cake tin and bake in slow oven for one and one half hours. Sufficient for one large cake."
