Jewish Fruit Cake

 Valerie McGarry (Michigan) says:
This recipe is CLOSE to my traditional Jewish pound cake, but I also toss a cup of candied fruit and chopped pecans in a little flour and fold in, right before pouring into the Bundt cake pan. The scant amount of flour keeps the fruit and nuts from sinking to the bottom. Might have to cook a little longer, but it is so delicious and a big hit! Thank you for having THIS recipe, it is very close to my own. Always a holiday tradition of mine.
