Fruit Cocktail Cake with Butter Sauce image

MY FAMILY doesn't care for fruitcake, but we like this modified version. It's similar to a date-nut bread and we enjoy it with the butter sauce. It's really moist and delicious. I'm glad a friend shared this recipe with me many years ago. -Mrs. C. Cunningham Astoria, New York
