Banana Fruit Cake image

Do you like banana bread? You'll like this, but it is not bread; it is cake. This is similar to banana bread, but has fruit in it. It is made in a tube pan and so you will have a big cake filled with yummy goodies in it. NOTE: If you want to make it Banana Bread, omit the cherries and raisins; omit the spices except for 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Put it into two bread pans and bake as directed. You will have two loaves of delicious Banana Bread.
