Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line two 5x9-inch loaf pans with greased parchment paper. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans, dates, red cherries, and green cherries. Ensure they are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures a light and even texture. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Add the flour mixture to the nut mixture and mix well, coating the nuts evenly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

In a small bowl, beat eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the egg mixture over the nut and flour mixture and mix until everything is thoroughly combined. The batter will be thick. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Press the mixture firmly into the two prepared loaf pans, ensuring an even distribution. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Bake time: 90-120 minutes)

09

Step

Let the cake cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing them and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool time: 30+ minutes)

For easier slicing, wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
You can use different combinations of nuts and dried fruits based on your preference. Dried apricots or figs would be great additions!
Be sure to grease and line the loaf pans very well, as this cake can be sticky.
