Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

1. Set eggs on counter and let come to room temperature.
2. Cream butter with the sugars until smooth and creamy.
3. Add eggs one at a time until well blended.
4. Sift the dry ingredients together. Stir the fruit zests into the dry ingredients and set aside.
5. Whisk the coffee, brandy, evaporated milk, anise flavoring, vanilla, and vinegar together and set aside.
6. Alternate adding the wet and dry ingredients to the butter/egg mixture, blending well.
7. Fold in the nuts and the dried fruit.
8. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a circle of wax paper. Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
9. Bake cake at 350 for 45 minutes. Without removing the cake from the oven, carefully sprinkle some sifted powdered sugar over the top of the cake, then bake cake for 15 minutes more.
10. Check cake for doneness: a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean. If the cake is not yet done, return it to the oven and check it again every 5 or 10 minutes until done.
11. Let cake cool 15 minutes in the pan on a rack.
12. Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar for icing into a bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients until you reach desired consistency.
13. Drizzle the cake with icing.
