Light Fruit Cake Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Light Fruit Cake. Although not a proper British Fruit Cake, this Light Fruit Cake should not be ignored. It has lots of what I consider the best part of a fruit cake, candied fruit. I love this cake's delicate almond flavor and you don't have to wait weeks to enjoy this tea bread, as it can be eaten the same day it's baked.

Homemade Bourbon Fruitcake
New Orleans native Charlie Andrews demonstrates how to make a Rum Fruitcake. A fruitcake is any type of cake that has candied or dried fruits, nuts and can be made with or without rum. My version of fruitcake consists of Candied fruits, pecans, walnuts, raisins, dried cranberries and Bourbon rum is added into the cake batter. Once the cake is baked, I make a strong Bourbon rum sauce that is added onto the top, middle and sides of the cake. This recipe calls for 20 or more servings as it's a pretty large cake. It's perfect for Holidays like Christmas, it also has just the right about of candied fruits, nuts and raisins and it is absolutely delicious. Hope you all will give this classic holiday cake a try.
