Carlos your fruit cake recipe sounds more like one I had once, a secretary where I worked used to make it, and it
was called a "White" fruitcake, fruits/nuts but no colored
cherries etc, and a much lighter texture and color to the cake. Always meant to get the recipe but never did.
You are absolutely correct, with the exception of a spot of Cherries here and there, this cake is a light tan, and it fills the room with a fragrance that conjures up a Christmas picture from long ago.. A Rockwell Christmas, Really!
