Equipment

  • oven
  • Mmeasuring cup 

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cup of sugar
  • 8 teaspoons baking powder
  • half a teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tablespoon of pumpkin spice

Dry Fruits Items

  • 32 ounces of green cherries
  • 32 ounces of pineapple slices
  • 32 ounces of red cherries
  • 32 ounces of pecans
  • 30 ounces of dates

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (148°C) and prepare a 10-inch tube pan by greasing it with butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice. Mix well to combine.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Fold in the dry fruits and nuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan and slicing it to serve.

Notes

• When measuring the flour, use the spoon and sweep method. This means that you should spoon the flour into the measuring cup, and then level it off with a knife. Do not scoop the flour directly out of the container, as this will cause the cake to be too dense.
• When adding the flour, mix it in slowly so that it doesn’t form lumps.
• Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy texture.
• Be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter, as this will help to prevent the cake from sticking.
• If the cake is browning too quickly, you can cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
