Preparation
Step 1
¾ pound (3 sticks) butter
3 cups sugar
Cream well together and add 8 oz of cream cheese that is at room temperature.
Add 9 large or 10 medium eggs one at a time.
Sift 4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
Put flour in 1 cup at a time and beat well after each addition.
Pour 1/3 of the batter in a well-buttered 10 in tube pan. Sprinkle fruits and/or nuts over the batter and repeat until all used.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1-¾ to 2 hours. Wait 10 more minutes and turn out of pan.
Notes:
If using whole, frozen fruit pieces, toss first in flour to prevent the fruit from coloring the batter.
You can also use 2-8 oz jars of well-drained maraschino cherries.
If baking in a gas oven, reduce heat to 325 after the first hour and cook for another ¾ to 1 hour.
