1/2 lb. butter
1 c. sugar
5 egg yolks
5 egg whites
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. currents
1/2 c. candied cherries
1/2 c. walnuts
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat well; butter, sugar and egg yolks. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold in; flour, baking powder, raisins, currants, cherries, then add to butter mixture.

Lastly, add above to nuts and vanilla. Bake in greased pan 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 300 degrees. (That is the way this 100 year old recipe reads. I just throw everything together and mix with beater!)
