Brazil Nut Fruitcake recipe

3 servings

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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease 3 - 8x4 inch loaf pans and line them with parchment or waxed paper.

Beat eggs, salt and vanilla together until very light and lemon colored.

Stir in sugar, 1 cup flour and baking powder.

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.

Press batter into prepared loaf pans.

Bake for 1 hour.
