Combine 5 cups flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Stir in floured fruit and nuts. Mix. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Fill each pan 3/4 full. Arrange split almonds over tops.
  4. Bake for about 3 hours, until toothpick comes out clean. Cover with foil if top gets too dark while baking.
