Graham Cracker Fruit Cake
"I like fruitcake as long as there isn't any strange fruit in it. I like dates, raisins, candied cherries, and walnuts in a cake--that is it. This limits some fruitcakes although I have altered some of them to fit my likes. I got this recipes many years ago off the graham cracker box. It tried it and liked it."
