Fruit Cake, Its History and Some Recipes

I saw rum cake mentioned. I can do a decent rum cake with a recipe from my mother. The 'secret' is in the glaze. In Michigan I think you have to be 18 or older with picture ID to eat any of my rum cake.:bounce:

My best friend (from Minnesota) was an Extension home economist in a neighboring county. She made one of those pies with the chocolate chips/pecan pie + bourbon-type filling and took it to work.....the entire courthouse smelled like the county jail on Saturday night. :smile:
 
Mmmm, I'll bet that was one tasty cake! I used apricot brandy last year. I had people who swore they hated fruitcake, begging for seconds! :smile coffee:

That apricot brandy will make believers out of people. That's what my daughter used in the sweet potatoes this year. Surely was excellent!
