Cooking Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a tube pan. Cream sugar and butter together. Add beaten egg and mix well. Stir in mashed cooked beans and vanilla. Sift all dry ingredients together. Add fruits and nuts to flour mixture, and stir to coat. Now add all to creamed mixture. Pour mixture into well- greased tube pan (or you can use a greased bundt pan). Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. You can make a thin confectioner’s sugar icing to dribble over top. Decorate with candied cherries and pecan halves, if desired.
