I promised Gloria I would post the fruitcake recipe we use, so here it is. We do not follow it exactly, as I said yesterday. And for the flour--we mix some (not measured) into the fruit to coat it first. Then after the fruit has been mixed with the other ingredients, we start adding flour until the mixture is the right texture. That part is a little tricky, but it is about the consistency of banana bread dough.
Also, we add the orange and lemon juice with the fruit.
So, here's the recipe-click on the image to make it bigger. I hope it's readable.
This is from an old cookbook that no longer has its cover; probably published in the 30's or 40's.
Good luck if you decide to give it a try!
