pineapple I think I'll also include here the recipe for the fruit
poundcake. There's a story behind it. When we moved into our first
house in Milwaukee, a neighbor brought us over one of these cakes
along with the recipe which she had gotten from the previous owner of
our home--a woman who had lived in the house for 40 years (Mrs.
Bailey). We love the cake and have baked it often. It makes a perfect
dessert for Christmas dinner. It's not dark and heavy like a
traditional fruitcake, you don't use any of those bitter fruitcake
fruits like candied peel (only candied cherries, candied pineapple and
dates), and the cake itself is fabulous. I have also used this recipe
to make a poppyseed cake. I left out the fruits and nuts, and I added
poppyseeds and a little lemon flavoring. It, too, was great. Grease 10
inch tube pan, bundt pan or two disposable loaf pans. Fill pan with
batter and bake at 325 degrees F. for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Frosting:
Combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tbsp cream. Drizzle over top and
sides of cake. (I usually don't buy cream for just 2 tbsp. I melt
about 1 tbsp butter and add another tbsp of milk--or enough milk to
make a consistency that will drizzle over the cake without running off
onto the plate.) Posted to EAT-L Digest 16 Dec 96 From: Deborah
