| Brazil Nut Date Cake Instructions:To shell the nuts easily, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and boil
3 minutes. Drain and cover with cold water, then drain again. Crack and
remove whole nut.
DIRECTIONS: Put whole nuts, dates, and cherries into a large mixing bowl.
Sift over this the dry ingredients. Mix well until coated. Beat eggs
until foamy, add vanilla and stir into fruit mixture. Turn into a greased
and waxed paper lined pan (9 1/2 X 5 1/2 X 2 1/2). Spread evenly. The
pan will be full. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees) for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The cake must be entirely cool before cutting. It will keep for a long time
if you can keep the fingers out of it. Wrap and store as with any fruit
cake.
Note: To store a fruitcake, the way I remember is to take some clean rags,
soak them in wine, and wrap the cake. This is then wrapped in aluminum
foil, and the whole thing put into a plastic bag. A fruitcake stored this
way will last several years.
