In keeping with the holiday season, today we mark National Fruitcake Day.
Yeah, some of us are more "cake and nut" centric in this regard while I am a full blown fruity fruit cake kindo guy !
I like a booze soaked chewy rich cake full of dried fruit, nuts and such drenched in some nice brandy wrapped in a white sheet and a plastic bag over time ...
This dense confection has been a favorite of mine since young childhood. Mama used to make fruitcake in this manner when I was a kiddo.
Fruitcake is generally served around the holidays which is the likely origin of my love for them.
Whatever your pleasure, the straight "nut cake" or the full blown "fruit cake" I hope you get the opportunity to indulge this holiday season.
