INGREDIENTS

• 1 package (8 oz) mixed dried fruits (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs

• 2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Place dried fruits in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes, then drain fruits and pat dry with paper towels. Chop finely. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. In large bowl of electric mixer, cream the 3/4 cup butter with the 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in vanilla. Then add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk, mixing to blend after each addition. Stir in dried fruits. Spoon a third of the batter into a well-greased, lightly floured 9-inch bundt pan or other tube pan with a capacity of 9 to 10 cups. Sprinkle with half of the Brown Sugar Mixture, then with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Add another third of the batter, remaining Brown Sugar Mixture and melted butter. Cover with rest of the batter.
