Down in New Orleans…in the French Market, there are fruitcakes like you cannot believe.
New York?
Forget it.
Fruitcake city.

@bettyskitchen hi betty – now that the cake has infuse (do you say that for a cake?) a little it tastes really wonderful! i had a nice peace of fruitcake with butter this morning and it made my day!! obviously it needs to infuse for 1-2 days for me to get the flavour thanks a lot for the recipe – we love it!!

@bettyskitchen yeah, maybe i didnt pack it tightly enough. ill give it another go with half a tsp of nutmeg (i do like the flavour of nutmeg, but somehow this is too much for me. or maybe its just because i have the flu and my taste is a bit weird at the moment anyway?! ) thanks for the tip – youre always kind and trying to help. you are a very congenial and winsome lady

@missjaysesteem We all love the flavor; nutmeg is the only spice used. If you don’t like nutmeg, it might be too much for you.

@missjaysesteem The only thing that would make it fall apart is that maybe you didn’t pack it tightly into the baking pan. If you pack it tightly, it can’t fall apart when cooked.
