Brazil Nut Fruitcake

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

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 - 8x4 inch loaf pans and line them with parchment or waxed paper.

Step 2

Beat eggs, salt and vanilla together until very light and lemon colored. Stir in sugar, 1 cup flour and baking powder.

Step 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.

Step 4

Press batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour.
