Christmas Plum Pudding

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
6 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped citron
1 1/2 cups pitted prunes, chopped
1/2 cup dark raisins
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups fine bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Whipped cream for garnish

Cream the butter and sugar together in an electric mixer. Beat the eggs
in, one at a time. Combine the citron, prunes, raisins, and pecans in
another bowl. Add the flour to the fruit and nut mixture and toss together
so that everything is coated with flour. Add to the butter and egg mixture
along with the remaining ingredients. Blend for 1 minute so that all is
incorporated. Grease and flour a souffle dish, about 7 x 4 inches. Add the
heavy batter and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 50 to 55
minutes, or until nicely browned. Serve warm by spooning out or cool and
cut into pieces. Garnish with the whipped cream. Serves 8.
