Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Coat the parchment paper with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the baking soda and sour cream.
In another small bowl, combine the dates, raisins, cherries, citron, pecans, and ¼ cup of the ﬂour. Stir gently to coat the fruit and nuts.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until ﬂuffy and lemony yellow. Mix in the egg until combined, then the salt, followed by the sour cream mixture.
Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups ﬂour in batches, mixing until just combined. Fold in the fruit mixture gently. The batter will be very heavy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Set on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan. Let cool completely before slicing.
