"This delicious cake is from a recipe off a Mariani-Kirkland (Costco) mixed fruit bag. It takes awhile and is a little pricey to make, but oh, so worth it."

ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking powder
4 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¹⁄₂ cup butter, melted
8 ¹⁄₂ cups mariani-kirkland mixed fruit
ground cinnamon
¹⁄₄ teaspoon nutmeg

directions

In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in eggs, vanilla extract and butter.
Using fingers, mix well until firm dough has formed.
Wrap in a clean tea towel (cheesecloth) and chill in refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Turn a 9 inch round baking dish upside down and lightly grease surface.
Pinch off a portion of the dough and roll out onto the baking dish making a 9 inch circle approximately 1 inch thick.
Continue this process with all the dough, making five to seven layers.
Bake each layer individually for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
In a medium saucepan, place the dried Mixed Fruit in enough water to cover.
Cook over medium heat until soft and spreadable, but not runny, about 20 minutes.
Drain fruit well.
Mix in cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stack layers, spreading equal portions of the fruit mixture between each layer and on top of final layer.
Chill in refrigerator 8-12 hours or overnight.
