Damsel's Fruitcake
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons sherry
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 pound candied cherries
1 pound golden raisins
1/2 pound seedless raisins
1/2 pound currants
1/2 pound chopped pecans
1 pound mixed fruitcake fruit
Combine batter ingredients in the order given, beating in one egg
at a time. Pour batter over fruit mixture; combine well.
Line baking pans with at least two layers of heavy brown paper.
Spoon batter into pans, filling no more than 2/3 full.. Place
shallow pan of water in bottom of 300 degree oven and bake cakes
until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean (1-1/2
hours for 1 pound cake, 2-1/2 to 3 hours for larger cakes) Remove
from oven and pour rum over cakes while still hot. When cooled just
enough to handle, remove paper from cakes and cool on a wire rack.

bottom of each loaf.
