A recipe for cake that can be stored for a long time?

any recipe will do. thank you.A recipe for cake that can be stored for a long time?
BRAZIL-NUT DATE CAKE





3 Cups whole Brazil Nuts (1 pound shelled or 2 pounds unshelled)


1 pound whole dates, pitted


1 cup whole maraschino cherries, drained


3/4 cup sifted flour


3/4 cup cugar


1/2 tsp baking powder


1/2 tsp salt


3 eggs, beaten


1 tsp vanilla





To shell the nuts easily, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and boil


3 minutes. Drain and cover with cold water, then drain again. Crack and


remove whole nut.





DIRECTIONS: Put whole nuts, dates, and cherries into a large mixing bowl.


Sift over this the dry ingredients. Mix well until coated. Beat eggs


until foamy, add vanilla and stir into fruit mixture. Turn into a greased


and waxed paper lined pan (9 1/2 X 5 1/2 X 2 1/2). Spread evenly. The


pan will be full. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees) for 1 hour and 45 minutes.





The cake must be entirely cool before cutting. It will keep for a long time


if you can keep the fingers out of it. Wrap and store as with any fruit


cake.





Note: To store a fruitcake, the way I remember is to take some clean rags,


soak them in wine, and wrap the cake. This is then wrapped in aluminum


foil, and the whole thing put into a plastic bag. A fruitcake stored this


way will last several years.





Enjoy!A recipe for cake that can be stored for a long time?
A light type of cake such as a ';panforte'; will keep for a long time, but for a good heavy fruit cake, do a Google on the Scottish Black Bun.
you can store a cake in the freezer for up to 6 months. If it is for just a couple, divide cake in the portions you will need. Wrap in wax paper or freezer paper then seal in a freezer bag. Frosting and all!
A fruit cake can last for decades.
This cake won麓t last forever but at least a month
