NANA'S JAPANESE FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees with racks placed in center. Spread nuts on a baking pan. Bake until fragrant, about 7 minutes. Transfer nuts to a bowl; set aside to cool.
• Line the bottoms of three 8-by-2-inch buttered cake pans with parchment paper, and butter the parchment. Dust the bottoms and sides of pan with flour, and tap out any excess. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Finely chop the raisins, and combine with the cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.
• With an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the sugar and shortening on medium speed until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, add the flour mixture and the milk to the batter, alternating between the two, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Fold the reserved raisin mixture into one-third of the batter. Pour batter into one cake pan. Stir the reserved toasted walnuts into the remaining batter. Divide batter between two remaining cake pans. Bake, rotating pans for even baking if necessary, until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks to cool, and invert cakes onto cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
• Combine the pineapple, oranges, 2 cups coconut, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring filling to a boil over high heat, stirring. Reduce to a simmer, and let cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Whisk the cornstarch into 1/4 cup warm water. Stir into filling. Continue to cook until thick, 6 minutes. Let cool before using.
• Place one walnut layer top-side down on the serving plate. Top with half of the filling. Place the raisin layer, top-side up, securely on top, press down lightly. Using an offset spatula, go around the layers to press filling between layers. Top with remaining filling. Place remaining walnut layer on top, top-side up. Press down with hands. Using the offset spatula, go around layers again to ensure filling is securely between layers. Frost the sides of the cake first, using an offset spatula. Finish icing the top of the cake.

NEE'S WHITE FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
• Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and set aside.
• Cream sugar and butter together until well blended.
• Add egg yolks and extracts and beat for 2 minutes.
• Add the baking soda into the sour cream; mix well and let sit for 3 minutes.
• Once 3 minutes are up, add the sour cream to the cake mixture.
• Add 1 ½ cups flour and beat well. Once this mixture is well beaten, fold in your egg whites.
• (I used my Kitchen Aid with the wire beater to mix everything to this point. Once I get to this stage, I use the hook or the other flat beater attachment---this makes the whole mixing bowl FULL). Anyway, once the egg whites are folded in, fold in your coconut and pecans.
• In a medium bowl with a lid (so you can shake), put the remaining 1 ½ cup flour, the cherries, and pineapple chunks; cover and shake well to cover the fruit.
• Once the fruit is covered, add this (flour and fruit) to the cake mixture and blend until it is all mixed well. The flour keeps the fruit from all dropping to the bottom.
• In a GOOD QUALITY tube pan which has been well sprayed with non-stick spray and lightly floured, pour the cake mixture into the pan, lightly spreading it evenly.
• On top of the cake batter, place your pineapple slices, lightly pushing them into the batter. If you have extra room, you might like to put a few cherries too for color.
• Bake this at 275 degrees for 2 ½ hours. After an hour or so, the top will begin to get a darker brown. When it gets to the point of brown that I like, I lightly place a piece of foil over the top to keep it from getting too brown.
• Use a wooden kabob skewer or something similar to test for doneness.
• Once it is done, remove it from the oven and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes before removing from the pan. I dump mine out on a plate, then get another plate to transfer it so the pineapple/top part is actually on top instead of the bottom.

CHRISTMAS WHITE FRUIT CAKE

Steps:

• Stir some flour into fruit mixture so it doesn't stick together. I use a little (like a tablespoon from the 2 1/4 cups for the cake).
• Cream the butter, sugar and eggs.
• Mix together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed ingredients.
• Stir in the fruit and nuts (I usually omit the nuts) and add more fruit to make up the volume.
• Bake in a 300oF oven for an hour, but check the cake for doneness with a wooden tooth pick to make sure it is cooked.
• My mother's only directions are: bake at 300oF for a little longer than an hour and mix together like a cake.

MAMA'S WHITE FRUIT CAKE (FAMILY FAVORITE)

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 250 DEGREES F. Line a 12 cup bundt pan with greased parchment paper or brown paper bag, & then dust with flour, and set aside. NOTE: With improvements in technology over the years, you can now spray pan liberally with Bakers Joy, and eliminate the use of the Brown Paper Bag.
• 2. Cream butter & sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• 3. Gradually add the flour, a little at a time. Stir in the cherries and pecans. When the batter becomes stiff, add the lemon extract, mixing well until blended.
• 4. I prefer using both green & red cherries to add extra color to the cake.
• 5. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, but are not dry. Fold into the cake batter until blended. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake in preheated 250 degree F. oven for 2 1/2 hours.

• 7. This recipe is dedicated to the memory of my mother Barbara S. Goldmon, my first culinary instructor, that had so much patience to teach me what she knew how to do best. She made this cake for as long as I can remember, and each time I make it, it reminds me of her, and her true patience. If you want to know patience try cooking this cake at 250 degrees for 2 and a half hours in a wood stove, where you need to constantly add wood to maintain the temperature. That's patience my friend. Here is to you mama with love.
