They are really no harder to make than any other cake. Even soaking the fruit can be done in 5 minutes with a microwave.
Don demystifies fruit cake. Film at 11.
At least fudge is supposed to be that sweet!Order placed. They have peanut butter fudge too made with bourbon. So it was a no brainer they combined two favorite thing peanut butter and bourbon. I hope it's not disgusting like Skrewball
Okay...so...fruitcake is made and below are some pics of the process!
So I didn't use any nuts this time...I mean...why would I want to put something like nuts in a fruit cake...right? Traditionally you wrap the cake in cheesecloth and store in a cool dry place while spritzing it with brandy every couple of days. This year I am forgoing the spritzing and going straight to the eating. I'll post pics of my enjoyment as soon as I decide to eat it!

That's funny right there!
Yeah...normally I would take brandy or rum or what have you and pour it into a food grade squirt bottle and spritz or spray the fruitcake every couple of days for about two weeks!
Oh yeah...this cake is delicious!
I know what most people think of fruitcake. But if you get rid of the citron and the really bad candied fruit...use rehydrated dried fruit...it is a completely different cake! Of course....this is coming from the guy who will eat a store bough fruitcake anyway.
Hey @dangerousdon you still got my address right?
Yes!!!
