(Christian brothers is best) Mix all this let set 24 hours 2 cups butter softened 2 cups sugar 1cup grape jelly. 10 eggs. 31/2 cups all-purpose flour. 3-tablespoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon all-spice. 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon cloves. 2-teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract. 1/2 teaspoon orange extract. 1. Cream the butter in large mixing bowl gradually add sugar beating till light and fluffy Add jelly beat well, add eggs 1 at a time beating well after each addition 2. Stir this into fruit mixture 3. Spoon into 10-inch cake pan lined with brown paper that has been buttered 4. Bake 3-31/2 hours or till cake tests done Let cool compleatly in pans when cold remove from pan and place in cans Place a shot glass in center hole fill with brandy to keep cake moist Well worth the effort
You don't have 2 decorate them but my kids always liked them this way. It is a little expensive but well worth it and if you keep the shot glass filled they will keep on the shelf for a long time (if you can leave it alone. Lol)
It's not bread but it is really good I'm lazy just bought a bread machine came with several good recipes
