Candied Fruit Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs

3. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix well.
