Cream the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the beaten eggs and the flavorings, blending well. Put the raisins, orange rind, cherries and nuts through the food processor and divide in half. Stir half the fruit mixture into the batter. Sift the dry ingredients together and add alternately with the one cup of liquid. Pour into two greased layer pans and bake approximately 35 minutes in a 350 degree F oven.
Mix together in the order given and ice cooled cake.

What is to be done with the second half of the fruit mixture after the first half was put in the batter?
Editor's Note Sorry Frances, the Tutti Fruiti Icing recipes was left off (I've now added it) that uses the rest of the fruit mixture.
