Mmmm. I love dark fruit cake. I grew up eating that and my parents (who are in their 80's now still get requests from all of us kids to make it instead of gifts as it is very expensive to make now. They still use a recipe that was my grandmother 's from England. My dad still wraps it in cheesecloth and continually soaks it in dark rum. Hehe, I remember once when I first was married 30 years ago going to their place one Christmas morning and over indulging in the cake and getting a little drunk.
