Fruit Cake

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the citron by cutting it crosswise into long, thin slices.

  2. In a pan, layer some of the cake dough and arrange the citron slices about an inch from the sides.

  3. Repeat layering until you have used the required amount of citron.

  4. For a large fruit cake, mix graham flour with water to form a dough.

  5. Spread the dough half an inch thick in the bottom of the pan.

  6. Cover the dough with greased paper, then add the cake dough on top.

  7. Bake until done, ensuring it does not burn on the bottom.
