Love fruit cake! Dark fruitcake, light fruitcake, Genoa fruitcake, in between dark and light fruitcake, small fruitcake, large fruitcake, patty cake sized fruitcake!
There is nothing like sinking one's fangs into a moist, dark fruitcake that has been curing in just the right amount of alcoholic beverage, accompanied by a sharp, vintage cheese, and beverage of choice. Dark fruitcake for the winter, light fruitcake for the summer!
When I was a kid my paternal grandmother used to make a Christmas fruitcake and send it down to us, and later on an aunt on the other side of the family would send me a pudding and a cake every year. As she got older that just became a cake - she was still making and sending cake until she was into her early nineties!
Reminds me, I must get some fruitcake for Christmas!
