Christmas Cake

It's so easy to layer cranberries, pecans, and sugar into a baking dish, and top with a quick batter for a fast, pretty upside-down cake. 

Boxed cherry cake mix and cherry pie filling are the secrets for this very easy, and very flavorful, cherry almond pound cake. 

Boxed yellow cake mix is the base for this delightfully different chocolate pear spice cake. It is especially delicious served warm, and topped with whipped cream. 

I don't know what to say about this recipe other then it is decadent and addictive. 

This is a very old recipe and it seems like there are a lot of ingredients, but it is worth the effort. I use the extra whipping cream to decorate the top of the cheesecake. Originally submitted to CakeRecipe.com.  

This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock.
