Recipe Introduction

Chocolate chips tempt even those who don't care for fruitcake to try this one, says Ruth P. of Jenison, Michigan.

List of Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup halved candied cherries
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips


Recipe

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to sugar mixture and mix well. Fold in pecans, dates, cherries and chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf.
