Recipe - Fruity Cake But Not Fruitcake

4 cup Fruit; fresh or drained from
the can, peaches are best,
apples are superb, other
fruits are good, too
2 cup All purpose flour
2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
One half cup Vegetable oil; not olive
1 teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
One half teaspoon Nutmeg

I'm always looking for a good and different dessert. My sweetie remembered
one that she had known years ago, but had forgotton. While sorting through
some very old stuff this past weekend, we found the old recipe. We made it
and it is wonderful. This cake is hardly a cake, more like a fruit steamed
pudding, but no steam.

NOTE: Spices are individual, different fruits may ask for different spices,
always listen to your fruits

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Beat together all ingredients excepting for the fruit. Make sure the
mixture is well blended. Stir in the fruit so it is well disbursed in the
batter and pour it all into a 9 by 13 greased pan.

Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes and remove to cool. This will be very moist
and cannot be removed from the pan except for serving. Serve warm with a
matching ice cream and/or liquor.

Resist the temptation to cover the leftovers, they get even moister and
tend to become too liquid, just let them sit in a cat proof area. [grin]
