List of Ingredients








1 pound candied cherries, cut in half ( 1/2 green and 1/2 red, if desired)

1 pound pitted dates, chopped

1/2 pound candied pineapple, chopped

1 pound chopped pecans

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a tube pan with two thicknesses of wax paper or with parchment paper. Grease wax paper or spray with nonstick spray. Combine cherries, dates, pineapple and pecans with 1/2 cup flour in large mixing bowl. Beat eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Add sugar, remaining flour, salt and baking powder to eggs. Beat slightly. Add egg mixture to fruit and nut mixture. Mix with hands (there is no better way to handle the mass, according to Benefield). Turn mixture into prepared pan. Bake 1 1/2 hours, until cake tests done. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Turn cake out of pan and let cool.
