1 lb. butter
2 c. sugar
6 eggs, beaten
4 c. plain flour
1 tsp. baking powder
4 tsp. lemon extract
1/4 lb. candied cherries, chopped
2 1/2 c. pecans, chopped
1 lb. white raisins
1/4 lb. candied pineapple, chopped

Cream butter, adding sugar gradually. Add beaten eggs. Sift flour with baking powder. Dredge fruit and nuts with one cup of flour. Set aside.

Add flavoring to butter-egg mixture; then add rest of flour. Fold in fruits and nuts. Bake in a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan in a 250 degree oven for about 2 hours or until done. This is better than fruit cake.
