Classic Fruitcake

Discover the rich tradition of a classic Christmas Fruitcake with this easy-to-follow recipe. Often misunderstood, a well-made fruitcake is a true holiday delight, packed with candied fruits, nuts, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Unlike dry, commercial versions, this fruitcake is moist, dense, and incredibly flavorful. Soaking the fruit in brandy or rum not only adds a festive flavor but also preserves the cake, allowing it to be made weeks or even months in advance. It’s a festive tradition that is well worth revisiting for a truly special holiday dessert table.
