  • 1 lb pitted dates
  • 1 lb chopped pecans
  • 32 oz flaked coconut (4 packages of 8 oz each)
Baking Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 28 oz sweetened condensed milk (2 cans of 14 oz each)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Prepare a 10-inch tube pan by lightly greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the candied cherries, candied pineapple, and pitted dates. Add the chopped pecans and flaked coconut, mixing thoroughly with your hands until everything is well combined.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the fruit mixture and stir to coat. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Pack the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared tube pan.
Baking
  1. Place it in the oven and bake for 1.5 hours until set and lightly toasted on top.
Cooling
  1. Once baked, run a knife around the edge to remove the rim of the pan. Let it cool slightly before carefully removing the cake from the tube bottom and parchment.
