This cake is especially appealing to those who do not care for even the best quality candied fruit. It is more dried fruits and nuts than cake.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 six-pound cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces walnut halves
8 ounces pecan halves
8 ounces brazil nuts
16 ounces pitted dates
16 ounces dried apricots
12 pitted prunes, halved
4 ounces mixed candied fruits
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup maraschino cherries
1 1/2 cup sifted unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup brandy
Additional brandy for soaking

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom and sides of an eight-cup souffle dish or a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Line with brown paper; grease the paper.
  • Combine the walnuts, pecans, brazil nuts, dates, apricots, prunes, candied fruits, raisins and cherries in a large bowl. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt over the nuts and fruits. Toss lightly until well coated.
  • Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla in a medium-size bowl with an electric mixer until the mixture is fluffy and light. Pour over the nut mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  • Fill the prepared dish or pan, pressing the cake mixture firmly. Bake at 275 degrees for about two hours. (If the top is browning too quickly, cover with buttered foil.)
  • Remove the cake to a wire rack. Spoon one-quarter cup of brandy over the cake. Let stand one hour. Invert the cake and peel off the paper. Turn it right side up and let it stand on the wire rack until it is completely cooled. Place the wire rack in a shallow pan and spoon the remaining one-half cup of brandy over the cake.
  • To store, wrap the cake in cheesecloth that has been soaked in brandy. Wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil or store in tightly covered container.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the batter mix together more evenly and smoothly.
  • Properly cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure even baking.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to check if the cake is done. Insert it into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a few simple techniques, you can create a delicious Sylvia's birthday cake that will be the star of any celebration. Remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, follow the recipe instructions carefully, and bake the cake with love. Your efforts will be rewarded with a moist, flavorful, and visually stunning cake that will be enjoyed by all. Happy baking!
