"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
1 cup light or dark raisins
1 cup chopped dates or figs
1 1/3 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped candied orange or lemon peel or graded
2 sticks, softened butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup vodka or orange juice or brandy
Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix fruits and nuts and toss with a small amount of flour to keep ingredients from clumping together in cake batter.

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each.

Mix together flour and baking powder and slowly add to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, combining thoroughly. Add vanilla and liquor or juice, mixing well. Stir in fruit-nut mixture by hand until thoroughly incorporated.

Distribute batter into prepared pans and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or more or until toothpick tests clean.

When cakes come out of oven, run a knife around the edges but allow them to cool completely in the pans. When cool, turn out and store tightly wrapped in a cool place for up to four weeks.
