Fruitcakes have a history that goes back to Roman times, though most of us probably associate them most with Merry Olde England.
I love the very dark fruitcake made with molasses and very dense with fruits and nuts. These cakes tend to be very moist because the fruits are soaked in alcohol, fruit juice, or coffee before the cake is baked. Sometimes there is additional alcohol or coffee added to the batter, and the finished cake may be soaked in alcohol as well.
Another delicious dessert!
