This is a Christmas tradition in my family. My mom got the recipe out of a church cookbook in the 50's. I usually make 3 loafs at a time. It is wonderful! Even those who hate fruitcake love this! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup chocolate chips |
2 cups chopped walnuts |
1 cup chopped dates |
1 cup halved candied cherry |
3 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Grease well a bread/loaf pan.
3. If not the non-stick kind, line the bottom only with 3 layers of waxed paper and then grease.
4. Into bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt; then stir in chocolate chips, walnuts, dates and cherries until well coated with flour.
5. In large bowl, beat the eggs well; then gradually beat in sugar.
6. Fold in the flour mixture and mix well (this will be stiff) and pour into greased pan.
7. Bake 1 1/2 hours or until cake tester come out clean.
8. Cool in pan.
9. Wrap in foil when removed from pan and store at room temp.
10. Slice, serve and enjoy!
11. This is much better the next day!
