Beat together eggs, sugar, vanilla, orange and butternut flavorings and
oil. Stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add 1/4 cup
flour mixture to the coconut mixture and reserve fruit from fruit starter
and mix well. The batter will be stiff; it is too stiff to work, add more
fruit or juice from the starter. Put into a greased and floured large tube
or Bundt pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in pan 15
minutes before removing.
