How to Make Date Fruitcake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans, or line with parchment paper.
- Combine 1 cup pitted dates (chopped), ½ cup chopped walnuts, and ½ cup chopped cherries in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the fruit mixture and stir until combined.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks until thick and pale. Gently fold into the cake batter.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in two additions.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Oven temperatures vary, so start checking at 60 minutes.
- Let the fruitcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
