3 cubes butter	3 tsp cinnamon
3 cups white sugar	2 tsp cloves
6 eggs	2 tsp allspice
4 1/2 cups applesauce	2 tsp nutmeg
6 cups flour	1 Tblsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp salt	2 tsp mapleine
6 tsp soda	1 tsp almond flavoring

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, applesauce, flour, salt, and soda. Mix in spices and flavorings. In a large brown paper bag put 1 1/2 cups of the flour, 2 lbs dates, 2 lbs currants, 3 lbs fruit mix (you may want to use less of this ingredient), 2 quarts of chopped nuts, and extra red and green cherries if desired. Shake sack to coat and separate fruit. Shake well. Add to cake mixture. Batter will be thick. You may have to mix with your hands. Pour in greased and floured pans. Aluminum foil pans seem to work better than bread pans as the cake tends to burn in bread pans before it is done in the center. Bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour.
