I just wanted to add a note to my recipe. I always put the dried fruits in a pan with water and bring them to a boil. Turn off the heat and let them sit for awhile....while I'm getting out and measuring all my other stuff. Drain well before adding to the batter. This makes the fruits soft and plumped up.
Talking about this reminded me that I want to make something for the church bazaar next week, and these cakes would be the perfect thing since I have to make them several days before the sale. So, next Tuesday I'll be baking goodies. Alice in Oregon ... where my driveway contractor finally called, and is coming to put in gravel today. Maybe there's hope for concrete soon.
