White Christmas Cake image

"Wow!" is the reaction from family and guests when they see and taste this lovely three-layer beauty. White chocolate, coconut and pecans make it so delicious. You can bake the cake layers in advance and freeze them. Then assemble and decorate the cake the day of the party. -Nancy Reichert, Thomasville, Georgia

MAKEOVER WHITE TEXAS SHEET CAKE



Makeover White Texas Sheet Cake image

This tried and true recipe is absolutely delicious. Nearly 15 years ago, Joanie wrote, "With its creamy frosting and light almond flavor, no one can stop at just one piece!" That certainly is still accurate today. Another reader, Kaye Buckley, from Springfield, Massachusetts loves this recipe and was wondering if we could do a makeover on it. Without being able to see a noticeable difference in flavor, our team cut over 50% of the fat, and more than a third of the calories. Enjoy!

CHRISTMAS WHITE FRUIT CAKE

We live on the east coast of Canada in the maritimes. We have a strong Irish/Scottish/English background. This recipe is a family heirloom recipe, probably Irish in origin as it comes from my maternal grandmother who was first generation Canadian of Irish descent.

Provided by Chef burnt toast

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 lb white raisins (seedless)
1 cup blanched almond
1 cup candied red cherries
1 cup candied green cherries
1 cup candied pineapple
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

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.
