      Miniature Fruit Cakes
      • 3/4 cup sugar
      • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
      • 1/2 tsp baking powder
      • 1/8 tsp salt
      • 1½ cups chopped walnuts
      • 1 cup chopped dates
      • 3/4 cup chopped mixed candied fruit (about 4 oz)
      • 2 eggs, separated
      • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
      • Halved candied cherries
      In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Combine egg yolks and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks from; fold into batter. Fill greased and floured muffin cups two-thirds full. Cover the muffin tin tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake at 275º for 1 hour. Uncover; top each fruitcake with cherries. Bake 5 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cup; remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 dozen
