DARK FRUIT CAKE
This Dark
Fruit Cake recipe was made back
in 2012 by me, to which today I have revisited the blog posting and photos
associated with the day of making the cake. The blog posting of the recipe can be located

Here is a quote from the author of the Cookbook, The Fannie
Farmer Cookbook Twelfth Edition “Every kitchen file should have a recipe for a
distinguished dark fruit cake. This is a
good as any to be found.”
This cake could also be called Brandied Fruit Cake by “Soak two large pieces
of cheesecloth in brandy. Wrap each
fruit cake in the cheesecloth, covering all sides, then wrap well in foil. Moisten the cheesecloth with additional
brandy every few days for about a week.
The brandy will flavor the cake and help preserve it too.”
