Merry Christmas Platy. We are still calling it Christmas time. Some time late Monday we will start thinking of it being New Years.
Yes Animal Family, I like fruit cake. I prefer the really dark cake with brandy poured on it, but this was a very fine amber coloured fruit cake. Someone's mother made it and we all really enjoyed it.
Why don't people like fruit cake? We always made our cake in November and we let it sit in the cold room with some brandy. It was so good and moist. My job was always to sit and cut the candied fruit/ candied peel/ nuts and candied cherries. I could sit for an hour and cut it all very carefully. We all got to stir the batter before it went into the pans. That was a great cake.
I am glad you enjoyed your cake. I also had some Shortbread. Yumm!
