INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/3 cups raisins
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1/3 cup chopped candied orange peel
  • 1/2 cup shredded or finely chopped almonds
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • almonds and candied cherries for garnish

PREPARATION:

Combine fruits and almonds. Into a bowl, sift the measured flour together with the baking powder and salt. Sift again and set aside.

In mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients, stirring until well blended. Fold in fruits and almonds.
