Fruitcakes are spongy with a taste of different fruits added to them as a whole. The combined effect of these fruits either nuts and walnuts or cherries and dates is so soothing. This fruit cake is never tough or dry and is formed by making two different batters.
The batter prepared for fruit mixing is good enough to hold all the fruits together. The fruit cake is best served when cold. You can replace the fruits and ingredients according to your interest. I was not a fan of fruit cakes in the past. But this recipe of Texan Manor Fruitcake is heart Warming or I must say heart winning.
