🍰 Brazil Nut Cake Recipe
🕒 Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
🥄 Prep Time: 20 minutes
🔥 Cook Time: 1 hour 55 minutes
🍽️ Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients:
- 2 cups brazil nuts
- 2 cups pitted dates
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 maraschino cherry
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fruit and Nut Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brazil nuts, pitted dates, pecans, and maraschino cherry. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl containing the fruit and nut mixture. Mix well until the eggs are fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the fruit and nut mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are combined and a uniform batter forms.
-
Prepare Loaf Pan:
- Grease and line an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3-inch loaf pan with wax paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan during baking.
-
Fill the Loaf Pan:
- Spoon the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the filled loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool:
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This will help the cake set and make it easier to remove from the pan.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- After cooling slightly, carefully remove the cake from the loaf pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice the Brazil Nut Cake and serve it as a delightful dessert or snack!
