Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped finely (measure after chopping)
  • 1 cup chopped soft dates or golden raisins
  • 1 cup candied cherries
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 5 to 6 extra whole candied cherries, to use as garnish
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 F; grease and flour a 9x5" loaf pan.

  • Step 2: Beat together sugar and eggs well.

  • Step 3: In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt using a whisk.

  • Step 4: Gently stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until combined, leaving no dry patches.

  • Step 5: Stir in the fruit and nuts to combine well.

  • Step 6: Scrape this thick mixture into the prepared baking pan, placing the reserved 5-6 whole candied cherries in top.

  • Step 7: Bake approximately 1 1/4 -1 1/2 hours, until a toothpick comes out with only streaks of melted chocolate, not gobs of wet batter; DO NOT OVERBAKE.

  • Step 8: Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then allow to cool fully on a cooling rack.

  • Step 9: Place in a plastic zip-top bag overnight (sliced or left whole) to allows the spices to really blend into the cake well; this always tastes better at least 1 day after baking.
