Hello, I'm desperately looking for a Christmas fruit cake, but a real one: soft, moist, plenty of fruits, dates, nuts, well soaked in a good liquor and properly aged, without "melao", etc. Do you know where I can find it? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Fruit cake
I looked for it but never found a Christmas fruit cake in the D.R. I used to bring a few ones with me from Canada. I think you will have to make it yourself. It won't be sufficiently aged for Christmas though

I always make my own & my own mincemeat for mince pies too (UK tradition). Let me know if I can help you with a recipe, magoo. Quickest way to 'age' rapidly :cheeky: is to do a Creole cake where you put all the fruit in saucepan with rum, brandy, port, wine, water, sugar & pinch of salt, low heat 15 mins. Then put contents in airtight container in fridge for a week (or a few days if you don't have a week) so that fruit absorbs all the alcohol. Then mix with flour, eggs etc & cook. It'll be very moist when finished.
