Mosaic Cake

Submitted by foodtvfan

"A fruit cake that can be served immediately! From Company's Coming Cakes cook book. After lining pan with foil, I greased it using recipe #78579. I chopped the pecan halves for the batter, and garnished the top of the batter with additional pecan halves and additional glaced cherries cut in half before baking. Very easy to make. You could use raisins instead of the dates."
