Time 1h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup mixed deluxe candied fruit
1/2 cup maraschino cherry, drain on paper towel

Steps:

  • With electric beaters, cream butter and cream cheese.
  • Add sugar mix well.
  • Beat in zest and vanilla.
  • Add eggs, one at a time beat well after each addition.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup flour.
  • Sift remaining flour with baking powder and blend into creamed mixture.
  • In a small bowl combine both kinds of raisins, candied fruit and maraschino cherries; toss with the 1/4 cup flour. (The cherries I like to leave whole--I think they look nice when the cake is cut, but its up to you to either leave them whole or chop them.).
  • Stir fruit into batter.
  • Pour into greased and floured 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
  • Bake 300°F for 70-80 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.
  • I have made this cake in loaf pans (2) (Bake time for loaf is 45-55 minutes) which allows me to cut them into smaller servings and I put them on my Christmas goodie trays. This cake freezes well.

HOLIDAY RING CAKE RECIPE - (5/5)



Holiday Ring Cake Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by á-31091

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter/margarine
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp grated lemon rind
4 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup mix fruit
1/2 cup chopped cherries
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup flour

Steps:

  • Cream butter and cream cheese, add sugar and beat well. Add vanilla and lemon rind. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating after each. Sift flour and baking powder together and blend in. Toss nuts and fruit with ¼ cup flour. Add to mixture. Stir well. Pour into well greased tube pan. Bake for 70-80 minutes at 300F. Cool. Dust with icing or drizzle with icing and milk

Tips:

  • Properly cream the butter and sugar: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use the right baking pan: Use a 10-inch bundt pan with a removable bottom for this recipe. Greasing and flouring the pan will help prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to test if the cake is done baking. Do not overbake, as this will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This holiday ring cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any special occasion. The moist and fluffy cake is filled with your favorite holiday flavors, and the creamy frosting is the perfect finishing touch. With a little bit of planning, you can easily make this cake at home. So gather your ingredients and get ready to bake!
