Grandmas Fruitcake
This is the formula that my grandma carried with her when she and her family left Russia in the mid 1900"s.

This nutty cake in the days in which my mom lived as a kid with her folks this was just made amid Christmas in light of the fact that the main time you could get walnuts, fruits, and some different fixings was in the fall of the year, recollect now they turned out poorly the store to purchase what they required, they needed to develop them, raisins were dried by the general population themselves, they even needed to shell their own walnuts, and treat their own fruits, and such the pineapple and coconut I do trust they more likely than not obtained.
To keep with custom the main time that I make or offer this nutty cake is amid the Christmas occasions, and In my mind you can't show signs of improvement nutty delight. Here we go now get together your fixings and set them on your table, all fixings should be at room temperature.
1 pound spread
12 eggs
1 lb. sugar
1 pound flour
1 pound white raisins
1 pound walnut meats
1 lb. red and green candy-coated fruits
1 lb. cooks chipped coconut
1 lb. confections pineapple
1 tablespoon of preparing pop broke up in ¼ glass warm water
2 containers liquor - any brand
Douse the raisins, walnuts, fruits, coconut and pineapple with 2 glasses cognac overnight in a stainless steel bowl.
In a 5 quart blending dish cream margarine and sugar, at that point include eggs gradually, at that point include your flour and mix well, include the heating pop and water and blend a moment more, include every single other fixing and blend until the point that all around mixed.
Presently you will prepare it in a 2 pound skillet, or in the dish of your decision, thwart or hard container, line the dish with wax paper or heating paper or even better a dish liner the span of the skillet. For a 2 pound skillet, Place 1 pound 12 ounces of the blend in the dish and level it with a spoon, don't slam it against the table. Heat it in a 350 degree preheated broiler for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, relies upon your stove and how darker you need it.
It's done when a pick is set in the middle and it tells the truth. Give it a chance to cool on a rack for some time and after that sprinkle it with 1 ounce of cognac and afterward another ounce when it is cool and after that stash it for around 3 days in your fridge and after that "appreciate it".
