INSTRUCTIONS

Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Cut dates in large chunks, slice cherries in half, chop nuts. Mix together fruits, nuts and chocolate chips. Beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until smooth and light. Stir in flour mixture, then fruit mixture. Pour into 9x5-inch loaf pan that has been lined with greased wax paper.

CHEF COMMENTS

Can use sherry/brandy and pour a little (or a lot) over cake before wrapping with foil... Improves flavor (or the disposition of the one who eats the fruitcake!)
