    1 1/2  c.            flour
    1      c.            candied cherries
    1 1/2  t.            baking powder
    2      c.            walnuts
      1/4  t.            salt
    1      c.            chocolate chips
    1      c.            pitted dates
    3                    eggs
    1      c.            sugar
 
 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 loaf pan 9x5
which has been lined with greased wax paper, bake 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours in 325
degree oven.  Cool in pan for 30 minutes, remove from pany, peel off paper and
cool completely.  Wrap in foil and refrigerate or freeze.  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!)
