AUNT LILITH'S PECAN CAKE
2 lbs. chopped pecans
2 lbs. chopped seeded raisins
1 lb. chopped dates
1 lb. dark brown sugar
1/2 lb. soft butter
6 whole eggs, separated
1 1/4 lbs. flour (5 cups)
1 1/2 tbsp. (heaping) baking powder
1 cup dark Karo
1 cup orange juice
CAUTION: YOU NEED A VERY LARGE PAN IN WHICH TO MIX THIS. I USE MY
ROASTER. Use 1 cup flour and mix together with dates, raisins and pecans; set
aside. Cream butter and sugar. Fold in beaten egg yolks, add sifted dry
ingredients alternately with Karo and orange juice. Stir in floured fruit and
nuts. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Can be baked as one very large tube
cake or I divide it into several loaf pans. Bake in slow oven, 300 degrees
until toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Yield: 9 lbs. Enjoy.
