I added 1 tsp of Lemon EXTRACT (not juice) to pump up the tanginess. This was perfect after a heavier dinner and easy to make. Everyone loved them. Thank you for a great recipe.

Great recipe! I did not wrap the pans with paper & they still turned out perfectly. I doubled the recipe for two pans. Used 2 C raisins, 1 C dates, 2 C craisins, 6oz pineapple and 2 C apricots instead of the cherries and citrus peel. 1 tsp cloves & 2 tsp cinnamon - the perfect amount. The house smells wonderful too!

I tried this recipe 3 times... doubling each time. Only the 1st time was ONE cake alrite. Every other cake crumbled upon coming out of the pan. I want to love this recipe, the crumbs were delicious... but I just could not get it to work.
