This recipe has been a Christmas tradition in our family since the 1960's when my mom wrote it down after watching someone prepare it on TV. It is by far the best Christmas Cake I have had, we fight over it and it's now to the point where one of these is not enough for the family. My sister bakes this cake and so do her two daughters and when I'm not around to grab some of theirs, I bake it myself. Absolutely delicious and great for anyone who doesn't want raisins or nuts in their Christmas Cake or who wants a new variety of colorful cake to offer their guests.
So because my niece posted the recipe last year, I'm going to provide the link rather than post it again. You can go to The Rest of Jacki's Cooking Adventures and Recipes to find the recipe for the Best Cherry and Pineapple Christmas Cake Ever!
Once it has cooled, just wrap it up in plastic wrap, then tinfoil and let it sit for about a week (if you can!) before serving. Yum! It's the colorful cake just to the left of the blue lid on this pretty tray of assorted Christmas goodies.
Bon Appetite!

Usually I'm a baking fool this time of year. I haven't baked a single, solitary thing this year... *sad panda*
mmmmm...i can always use another christmas cake recipe. ESPECIALLY if it doesn't contain nuts. just don't like 'em in my cakes or cookies.
p.s. i have something for you over at my place...sorry, it's not christmas cake. ;-)
OK but is it a fruitcake??
That looks like something the hubby would like. Pinapples!
It looks like fruit cake... which my parents love, but which I don't care much for myself. Apparently my aunt makes a mean one, but I wouldn't really know, because I refuse to try it. :)
I may try this for New Year's. Thanks!
Looks yummy ..the whole plate..!!!I like eating better than baking but maybe I will give it a try..!!Thanks..!!
Looks good and worth a try!
Looks pretty tasty!! I enjoy fruitcake soaked in some sort of alcohol (with coffee)! I have baked and am done now!!!

I have been looking for a cake and now that I am officially into the season I am going to give this one a try. Very nice and thank you!!
Wow, the recipes floating around the blogs these holidays will have me looking like Santa Claus if I'm not careful.
Mmmmmmmmm, looks good!
I'm not much of a cook too, so this sounds like the cake for me ... Thanks!
It's such a pretty cake and looks delicious. After reading about it on your niece's blog, I've decided that somehow, that is going to be on my things to bake list.
