In another medium bowl, combine the dates, pecans, cherries and raisins.

Add 2 Tbls of the flour mixture, tossing lightly to coat the fruit and nuts.

Alternately beat the remaining flour mixture and milk into the butter mixture until well blended.

Stir in the floured fruit mixture by hand until distributed throughout the batter.

Turn into the prepared pan. Bake for 2 to 2½ hours in the preheated oven until the cakes shrinks from the side of the pan and the top springs back when lightly pressed.

Cool for 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack then remove from the pan.
