Answer 1

BRAZIL-NUT DATE CAKE

3 Cups whole Brazil Nuts (1 pound shelled or 2 pounds unshelled)
1 pound whole dates, pitted
1 cup whole maraschino cherries, drained
3/4 cup sifted flour
3/4 cup cugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla

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.

Enjoy!

A light type of cake such as a "panforte" will keep for a long time, but for a good heavy fruit cake, do a Google on the Scottish Black Bun.

Answer 4

you can store a cake in the freezer for up to 6 months. If it is for just a couple, divide cake in the portions you will need. Wrap in wax paper or freezer paper then seal in a freezer bag. Frosting and all!
