    I first found this recipe in a Good Houskeeping cookboook in the early 1950's! It's more confection than cake, but really is pretty when sliced thin--and tastes good, too! Here's a link for this one:

    Brazil Nut Sensation

    Ingredients:
    3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 cups shelled Brazil nuts
    1 pound pitted dates
    1 cup well drained maraschino cherries
    3 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    Directions:

    Heat oven 300 F. Grease then line with wax paper a 9"x5"x3" loaf pan. In a sifter place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, place shelled nuts, dates, cherries; sift flour mixture over these; with hands, mix until nuts and fruit are well coated. Beat eggs until foamy; add vanilla; stir well into nut mixture; spread evenly in pan.

    Bake 1 hour & 45 minutes. Test for doneness, then cool . To cool -set pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes, then with spatula loosen sides of cake around the edges. Place rack over top of cake and invert, lift pan from cake, peel off the wax paper, place another rack on cake and invert so cake is right side up. Cool. Wrap in foil. Refrigerate. Keeps 5-6 weeks.
