Cut candied green cherries and red cherries in half and measure out 1/2 cup of each.

Measure out 1/4 cup of raisins and soak them in 1/4 cup of spiced rum overnight.

Drain the soaked fruit in a strainer before mixing the cake.

In a mixing bowl, beat together 6 tablespoons of softened butter and 1/2 cup of white sugar until mixed.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, beating for about 5 minutes until creamy, scraping down the bowl as needed.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and mix it in.

Fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of Sprite, being careful not to over mix.

Coat the drained fruits with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking, then fold them into the batter.

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for at least an hour before cutting.
