BETTY CROCKER MYSTERY FRUITCAKE (1957)
This one is part of Stephanie's collection of my Mother's recipes. It was written by Mom on a pocket sized note book and has her "run-on" style of stuffing everything into a small space, too!! The ad says: "You start with a pre-baked cake. You use frosting as a liquid. You never bake the fruit" Sounds to me like the fruit would...

Steps:
- 1. Step one: Bake a Betty Crocker Spice cake mix per the package instructions. Cool the cake and crumble it into a very large bowl or pan.
- 2. ALTERNATIVE TO STEP ONE: Bake a white or yellow cake mix to which you have added: -- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon -- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg -- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger -- 1/4 teaspoon allspice or cloves
- 3. Step two: Add all the fruit to crumbled cake and stir -- probably with your hands inside a couple of plastic bags -- or plastic gloves if you have them -- or a large wooden spoon would do, as well.
- 4. Step three: Open the can of fluffy frosting and mix it with the cake and fruit (If you have it in a box, then make the frosting and add to the fruit.)
- 5. Step four: Line a tube pan with foil and fill with the mixture. NOTE: Personally, I don't like my food to touch foil -- so I would use parchment paper following these instructions: A. Prepare one-piece tube pan (10x4): Cut heavy brown paper bottom (trace bottom of pan) and one 4" wide strip to go around the inside of the pan (slit the top every half inch or so, to conform to shape of pan), and another 5" wide to go around the tube. B. Lightly grease the pan with butter, place the paper liners inside, then lightly butter the paper (or can grease the paper before putting into pan -- greased side next to cake, not the pan.) The grease on the pan, holds the paper, the grease on the paper is for the cake.)
- 6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating
- 7. Makes a 5 pound cake
GRANDMA BETTY'S FAMILY FRUIT CAKE
This recipe was passed down through the years and given to me by my Grandmother, Elizabeth Lydiard. We called her Grandma Betty. She passed away in 2001. She would have been thrilled to see it here on Just a Pinch. I have no idea how old this recipe is but my Grandmother was born in 1910. My mother and I perfected the mixing...

Steps:
- 1. Oven should be preheated to 250 (yes that is correct - 250) and cooking time is 2 hours (yes, 2 hours). Prep time is about 30 minutes. You will need 5-6 Mini Loaf Pans approximately 5" x 3" in size, I used 6.
- 2. Bowl #1 - Mix flour, baking powder and sugar, SET ASIDE
- 3. Bowl #2 - Mix Eggs, Vanilla extract and Almond extract together, SET ASIDE
- 4. Bowl #3 - Mix Dates, Cherries (RED AND GREEN), Pineapple (get the largest pieces you can find, not whole but not the bits either) and Nuts together, SET ASIDE. (note: I have also used Pecans - either or both are excellent) NOTE #1: BE SURE to SET ASIDE 3 CHERRIES for EACH mini Pan to go ON TOP of each cake before cooking. NOTE #2: I do not add all the syrup from the candied fruit, I do my best to remove the candied fruit from the containers leaving behind the goo. I do not rinse the fruit.
- 5. Follow this order for easiest blending of above ingredients - Mix Bowl #1 and Bowl #2 together. Be sure to get a creamy, no lumps remaining, smooth consistency. I use a large spatula to achieve best blend.
- 6. REMINDER: BEFORE YOU FOLD BOWL #3 into the BATTER created by BOWL #1 & BOWL #2 - BE SURE to set aside three cherries for each fruit cake to put on top of each mini loaf before they go in the oven. THEN, fold ingredients of Bowl #3 into your above blended batter.
- 7. Spray your individual mini loaf pans (as seen in photo) with a cooking spray of your choice.
- 8. Scoop out enough batter to fill each tin. Do not over fill. This recipe will fill 6 individual mini tins nicely. NOW - ADD THE SET ASIDE CHERRIES to the top of your loaf pan now filled with the completed batter to accent your creation.
- 9. Place the tins on a large cookie sheet (for easiest in and out placement to oven) AND BAKE - 250 slow oven for 2 hours.
- 10. When finished, remove from oven and let cook on wire rack.
- 11. I leave the fruit cake in the pans, and then put the pretty little Fruit Cakes in a fancy clear food type gift bag or wrap in clear plastic wrap and add a bow so everyone can see your delicious treat when you present it to them.
