OLD FASHIONED LIGHT FRUITCAKE



Old Fashioned Light Fruitcake image

This is a very light fruitcake to be made for the Holiday season. When cake is cooled, wrap in brandy soaked chessecloth, then wrap in foil, and store for several weeks to allow flavors to mellow. I usually make these in July or August to get ready for the Christmas Season, and check on them a few times and add more brandy if needed, They are simply delicious by the time you eat them!!

LIGHT AND MOIST FRUITCAKE



Light and Moist Fruitcake image

I adapted this from other recipes to come up with a cake that is both light and moist, as opposed to the denser varieties of fruitcake. Feel free to drizzle on more liquor after it is cooked to keep moist if you are not eating it right away.
