Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add eggs one at a time.
- Add extract, orange juice and soda water.
- Add cherries, pineapple, and pecans until all is added. I used to mix all by hand, but now I have a larger mixer that works well and I only mix the cherries, pineapple and pecans by hand.
- Drop batter by spoonsful into lightly greased and floured pans. Batter will be very heavy.
- Bake at 275 until firm to touch.
- This will make 2 large bundt pans, or a loaf pan and several small pans for gifts. The small pans take about 55-60 minutes and the large tube pans take about 65-80 minute The bundt pan will take longer. You can cut the recipe in half since the batter is so heavy and each half makes a whole bundt pan or one large and three smaller loaf pans.
