I finally found the red candied cherry after searching a few stores! This is my first time trying this cake and not sure if I will like it or not so only make a small one. I think the reason why I want to try is because it's such a pretty cake with all the red, green, orange color making it so festive for the holidays. However, after excitingly baking and trying...I might have to eat everyday this a week to see if I really like it or not. Maybe tastes better as day passes or I'll learn to like it more?...😅 So far none of my family want a second bite! 😂 I will try a cream cheese version which have no alcohol so kids might like it better I hope...since I have a lot of fruit candied left.😬
Edit: Eating cake the next day. It smells so good. Taste very good too. Cake with a hot cup of coffee! I think I'll make this cake just for me every year. 😆
I followed ➡️Apron recipes. Just changed the fruits a bit since I didn't have apricot. I used red green cherries, pineapple, orange peels, raisins, golden raisins, and dates.
