DARK FRUIT CAKE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES
This is my SIL, Becky's, Great Great Uncle Lee A. Harley's Dark Fruit Cake recipe. It has also won several blue and red ribbons at the South Carolina State Fair in the 60s and 70s. It is a 7 pound cake. Becky says this one is her favorite! She also says that her Great Great Uncle Lee was a very sweet Christian man who loved the Lord. Before he started baking cakes he was a candy machine vendor and he had a following of children who would come to meet him every week when he came to fill the machines and he would give them gum and tell them about Jesus and his love for them. Enjoy!

  • NOTE 3: I also searched the Sauer's web site and they do not have a "cake spice" which is why I have made the assumption that "all spice" is what is meant. It may be that they used to have a spice with that name, but they no longer do. You, can, of course, choose any spice you like. AND more than a box of spice seems like an awful lot -- I consulted with Becky and she says it is a 7 pound cake so should be correct.
