"Raisins, walnuts and dried plums fill this fruitcake-like dessert shared by Kera Bredin from Vancouver, British Columbia. 'When I have leftover egg whites, I like to make this old Russian family recipe,' Kera says."

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup raisins

1 cup chopped dried plums

1 cup chopped walnuts

4 egg whites

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

1.	In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in raisins, plums and walnuts; toss to coat evenly. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Stir about a third of the egg whites and vanilla into flour mixture. Fold in remaining egg whites. Transfer to a 9-in. square baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
2.	Bake at 300 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool. Cut into squares.
