Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup candied cherries
  • 1 cup candied pineapple
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Fold in the cherries, pineapple, raisins, walnuts, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Spread batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves and orange juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and the preserves have melted. Remove from heat and brush over the top and sides of the cooled cake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Let the cake sit for a few hours before serving.
