This is a very nice cake. I have not tried swapping out some of the raisins for another dried fruit or adding other candied fruit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428791142132657532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-63178489289618337522016-10-19T09:52:25.971-05:002016-10-19T09:52:25.971-05:00I agree with you, this is a plain-sounding but exc...I agree with you, this is a plain-sounding but excellent cake!

Have you tried golden raisins? We eat them where none of us are fond of regular raisins.<br />Otherwise, I would suggest you look for another recipe that uses the ingredients you like.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-73428613656821718502015-11-16T07:22:45.463-06:002015-11-16T07:22:45.463-06:00Do you think you could substitute dates or candied...Do you think you could substitute dates or candied cherries for the raisins and it would work?

I don't know how other fruits would survive the cooking in syrup process that starts the cake, but that process is what makes this cake successful without eggs.<br />We are going to have our home-canned cranberry sauce for lunch Thursday...and Myrna says she is going to use some I shared with her for their Thanksgiving too.<br />It's an excellent recipe.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-28170954922953057522014-11-25T17:45:27.065-06:002014-11-25T17:45:27.065-06:00I have always wanted a good fruitcake (haven't...I have always wanted a good fruitcake (haven't we all?). This looks delicious. I was looking at the number of fruits inside the cake and felt that something else could have been added; perhaps some semi-cooked cranberries or maraschino cherries. I found this recipe after copying your take on home canned cranberry sauce. Can't wait till I can make both of these for the holidays. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
