I made two of them this Christmas. I brought one with me when I visited my family; that one got eaten. I’m in the process of eating the other one now. They’re very heavy (lots of nuts and fruit with not too much batter) but not at all brick-like. And they were basted with plenty of brandy!
Delicious! It’s a shame that people turn away from fruitcake because they’ve only ever been exposed to inferior ones – they need to taste some of the good ones!
