I do not like Fruit Cake but someone out there does. RADIANT FRUIT CAKE
This cake favors dates and is studded with raisins, nuts and diced candied fruits (no peel). 3 cups dates 3 cups light or dark raisins 2 cups pecans or filberts (we like pecans) 1/2 pound each glace pineapple & cherry 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup Sherry wine or fruit juice 1 cup butter or margarine 1 & 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed 4 eggs 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1/2 teaspoon mace Pit and quarter dates (My mother like the dates already pitted). Rinxe raisins and drain thoughly. Chop nuts. In large mixing bowl, combine all fruits and nuts with honey and wine. Cream butter and sugar together thoroughly. Add well beaten eggs. Pour over fruits and nuts. Sift together flour, salt, soda and spices. Add gradually to fruit mixture, mixing thoroughly. Turn into 2 greased loaf pans (8&1/2 x 4 & 1/2 x 2 & 1/2 inches) lined with 2 thicknesses greased brown paper and one of greased waxed paper. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees F.) about 2 to 2 & 1/2 hours, with a shallow pan of water on bottom of oven. Remove from pans to cool, but leave paper on cakes until read to use. Makes about 5 & 1/2 pounds cake.
