This is my absolute favourite cake for the Christmas holidays. I would always look forward to this season just to get a piece of this cake. The longer the fruit sits in the alcohol the better is tastes, minimum 2 weeks, maximum 3 months. As for the cake, the longer it sits there better it tastes! But make sure you have it wrapped properly if you want to leave it sitting for a long time. Make at few days ahead of serving for good measure. Prep time is minimum time required for fruit to soak.
Great with a cup of black coffee. This is my friend’s grandmother’s recipe. Mixed peel is the candied peel of various fruit. Use candied orange peel or candied papaya peel or a combination of the two.
Just as good if not better than the restaurant. And, as those Jiffy cake mixes become harder to find, this will always be available!
Make and share this Puerto Vallarta Enchiladas recipe from Food.com.
I adapted this soooo heavily, but the base is a recipe in the November issue of Food Network magazine. It was too spicy for my husband, but I loved it. Hope you do, too.
