"Fruit-filled cake topped with whipped cream. It's really delicious. My Mom, Corina Compagner, has been making this recipe for Christmas for over 30 years."
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8 inch pan.
2In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and 1 cup of sugar. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the egg mixture. Then, stir in the dates, walnuts and vanilla. Pour into the prepared pan.
3Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool on the pan on a wire rack. When the cake is cooled, break into bite sized pieces. Stir the cake pieces together with the oranges, bananas and remaining sugar. Press into a medium sized bowl and chill for several hours.
4Invert cake onto a serving plate. Whip the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla until stiff. Spread over the entire cake.
