Preparation

Step 1

Grease and flour (2) tube pans. Chop candy and nuts. Mix all dry ingredients and add candy and nuts. (Beat eggs) Pour butter into dry ingredients, then mix in eggs and vanilla. Mix well and pour into pans.
Bake 1 hour @ 200 degrees and 1- 1 1/2 hours @ 250 degrees.

To Keep moist, don't overcook.

Check for doneness with a toothpick.

Bundt pans require less baking time than tube pans.

After they cool, remove from pans. Wrap in saran wrap, then foil. (MeMama also wraps it in a clean towel to keep moist.)

They will keep in the frig or freezer. Quarter an apple and put in center of cake for moistness.
