My fruitcake is delicious. Lots of fruit, raisins, dates, pecans, in a molasses batter. Wrap it in brandy soaked cheese cloth for 3 weeks or longer and it’s good to go. Good stuff.
After quizzing my dad what kind of fruitcake he liked, I tweaked and customized another recipe for him. Light (colored) cake, toasted pecans and walnuts, golden raisins, dried apricots, dates, candied cherries, and Grand Marnier. He really liked it so I made it for his December birthday for several years.
It’s definitely a process but one that I was glad to go through for my dad. I haven’t made one in several years now.
The Collins Bakery fruitcakes are absolutely phenomenal as are the Southern States fruitcakes.
