Fruit cake

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pound red candied cherries
• 1 pound green candied cherries
• 1 pound Brazil nuts
• 1 pound walnut halves
• 1 pound pecan halves
• 2 pounds pitted dates

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 - 8x4 inch loaf pans and line them with parchment or waxed paper.
2. Beat eggs, salt and vanilla together until very light and lemon colored. Stir in sugar, 1 cup flour and baking powder.
3. Place cherries, nuts, and dates into a large bowl. Dust with the remaining 1/2 cup flour. Then stir in sugar mixture. There is very little batter which makes this a very stiff mixture. Mix with hands.
4. Press batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour.
