Maybe this is what you are looking for?
That does look a lot like I remember, but I don't remember getting 7 loaves! Be easy enough to halve. Thank you so much. I do remember it had canned peaches and maraschino cherries but not much else. Quick question: the part of the recipe that states mix 2 pks to coat fruit and then 2 pks with eggs and oil.....the "2 pks" are the cake mixes, right?
Now to get the calendar and figure out when to start to have those loaves by the holidays.....
again thank you for looking up your recipe.
