RICH DARK FRUITCAKE
This is my mother's very old recipe, at least 60 years old. My mother baked this for my wedding, and it sure is delicious and also a great Christmas cake. This is a very long recipe, but well worth the trouble. You can substitute a cup of drained maraschino cherries for the candied cherries, if you like.

Steps:
- Wash and dry the raisins and the currants. Wash, dry, pit, and chop the dates. Chop the raisins and the citrus peel. Slice the cherries. Blanch the almonds, and slice them lengthwise. Combine fruits and nuts in large bowl.
- Grease and line 3 standard Christmas cake pans (these round pans are at least 3 inches deep and come in a set of three sizes- 5, 7, and 9 inch across) with 4 layers of heavy waxed paper, or 3 layers of brown paper. Grease again. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices onto a piece of waxed paper. Remove 1 cup of this flour mixture, and combine with fruit and nuts. Mix until fruit is well coated.
- Cream the butter until fluffy. Add extracts. Gradually add sugar, mixing until creamy. Beat egg yolks until light and lemon-colored, and beat into the butter mixture. Stir in the molasses, and beat together well. Add half of the remaining flour mixture, and blend thoroughly.
- Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; fold into batter. Stir in lightly the remaining flour mixture alternately with grape juice and coffee. Add floured fruit and nuts, blending in until fruit is well distributed.
- Turn batter into prepared cake tins, filling each about 2/3 full and spreading batter evenly. Bake in center of oven. Bake small cake 2 1/2 hours, medium cake 3 1/2 hours, and large cake 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to stand 5 minutes, then turn out on wire rack to cool.

Steps:
- The night before, pour 75ml of the brandy over the fruit, cover and leave to sit, letting the fruit soak up the alcohol.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line a deep, 25cm square cake tin with a double layer of baking parchment, then wrap a double layer of newspaper around the outside, so that it comes about 2.5cm above the sides of the tin, and secure with string.
- Sift the flour, spices, cocoa powder and ½ tsp salt together. Mix a third of this mixture into the soaked fruit. Cream the butter, zests and sugar until light and fluffy, stir in the treacle, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Fold in half the remaining flour mixture. Once mixed, fold in the fruit mixture followed by the remaining flour mixture.
- Spoon into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with a palette knife. Bake in the centre of the oven for 2 hrs 30 mins, checking the cake with 15 mins to go. When a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean, it's ready.
- Leave to cool in the tin for 30 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. To store, peel off the baking parchment, poke holes into the cake and feed with the remaining brandy. Wrap well in cling film. Will keep for three months.

RICH BRANDIED FRUITCAKE
I got this recipe from the canadian living website. This fruitcake is cooking in my oven as I type. I wanted to make sure I had a copy so I am adding it to my cookbook. I will revise my desciprition after I taste it, although that may be several weeks. To prevent cakes from drying out over the long span of time, brush with brandy before wrapping and every few weeks there after.

Steps:
- In large glass bowl, stir candied peel, raisins, currants, cherries, brandy and pineapple. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 12 hours or microwave at high for 3 mintues or until steaming, stir.
- In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beat in vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves, stir into batter, one-third at a time. Scrape fruit mixture over batter, sprinkle with pecans and almonds. Stir just enough to coat fruit and nuts evenly.
- Spoon into two 9x5 inch and one 5-3/4 by 3-1/4 inch parchment paper lined loaf pans, packing with back of spoon. Tap lightly on counter. Bake in center of 300 degree oven for about 1 1/4 hours for small loaf and 2 hours for large loaves or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans on rack for 30 mintues. Turn out, right side up, onto rack. Let cool completely.
- Note: After one hour of baking place a piece of foil loosely over cakes. I assume this is to prevent the cake from browning too much.
