Excellent!!!! I am not lucky with yeast recipes so this allowed me to share a wonderful holiday memory with my kids . Thank You!! I added Almonds, vanilla, and dried cherries, my great Grandma used raisins, rum and almonds so I tried to stay close to that. Not huge on raisins though.

    I needed a quick version of this recipe as I did not have the time for the yeast method. I baked in a fluted tube pan and glazed with lucre. I Also added some orange zest to the batter and sprinkled over glaze. My son's history class loved it. (He had to bring in a food reflective of his ethnic decent). My daughter wants me to bake another cake for home!
