"I made two batches of this recipe last night, with a third one waiting to be finished in the next day or so. It just made sense to make many batches, since all the fruits came in quantities that lend themselves to at least doubling up. I found some pyrex bowls that are about five inches in diameter that make the perfect size cakes for gift-giving. One recipe makes three of these. I put in about a cup and a half of pecans because I didn't have quite the full measure of raisins. I'll swap pecans for raisins any day! :) I found I had to bake the cakes for 70 minutes. My test cake was SCRUMPTIOUS this morning! Can't wait for the mellowing period to be over. My boyfriend gobbled up the test slice in about two bites and asked when the next test would come! I think these are going to be a hit!
