The following is a very rich fruitcake, almost like candy.
It's T&T. Makes three cakes.
Fruitcake
6 cups nuts (either 2 cups walnuts & 4 pecan, or all pecan
13 oz. pitted dates, halved and mixed with a bit of flour
2 cups whole maraschino cherries, drained
Batter:
1-1/2 C flour
1-1/2 C sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla
Combine batter ingredients and mix in nuts, cherries &
dates. Grease three 8x4x2-1/2" pans and line bottom with
brown paper and grease. Spoon batter into pans and bake at
300º. Cover with foil for the first 40 minutes, then uncover
for 40 additional minutes. Should be a nice rich brown when
done. Very rich!
