directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • On wax paper, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda. On another piece of wax paper, mix the raisins, dates, nuts and candied fruit.
  • In a large bowl, beat sour cream, eggs and vanilla until blended. Add butter then the flour mixture. Blend well until all is incorporated. Beat the mixture at medium speed for 1 minute. Add fruit and nut mixture and fold in until well distributed.
  • Turn into a prepared tube or Bundt pan. Bake at 300 degrees with a shallow pan of hot water near the floor of the oven until a cake tester comes out clean, approximately 1 3/4 hours. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. With a narrow spatual, loosen edges and turn out onto wire rack and cool completely. Wrap in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 week, minimum. Do not attemp to slice this until the week is almost up, it will crumble badly, ask me how I know this. Slice very thinly and enjoy.

  1. I'm a big fan of fruitcake & always enjoy making a variety during the end-of-year holidays! This one came to my attention a little late for the season, but I was intrigued by the inclusion of chocolate, so . . . OUTSTANDING! We thoroughly enjoyed this new & delicious cake & I'll be making it again, for sure! I didn't use any candied fruits but included dried cherries, apricots & pineapple as well as the raisins & some Medjool dates!Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!

<p>I have recently moved from AZ to Wenatchee WA. Life goes on and I am looking forward to making many changes. I like to make use of fresh seafood and produce when available but I really like making homemade soups. My favorite cookbook is&nbsp;an old&nbsp;Betty Crocker that I have had for 30 years, stained and dog-eared but well loved.</p>
