Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch pan. (Or spray with nonfat cooking spray).

Step 2

In a small bowl, blend flour, salt, soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.

In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and eggs at medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in rum or brandy extract.

Step 4

Stir in flour mixture, dates, candied fruits, 1/2 cup cherries and nuts.

Step 5

Spread in prepared pan and bake 30 minutes until golden. Cool on wire rack, in pan.

Step 6

In the meantime, prepare the frosting by mixing together sugar and milk. Stir until smooth; then cover with a damp cloth until ready to use.

When cake has cooled, frost, using a spatula. Cut into 2 x 1-inch bars and decorate with red and green candied cherries. Store in a covered container, with pieces of wax paper between layers.
