FRUITCAKE…….gone awry……
Posted By drsao on December 4, 2011
I am one of the few people in the world who TRULY LOVES FRUITCAKE. I anticipate the holidays because I know it will be time for fruitcake – can you believe it! ONCE, YEARS AGO, I tried to make fruitcake but it didn’t turn out well, so I just decided to buy my fruitcake at COSTCO (it is really really really good, too!)
This year, I decided to make fruitcake – and take one to Kansas City to surprise my daddy for his 90th birthday!)
Doesn’t this batter look wonderful?
YUMMY
I used 6 lbs of fruit (cherries, cranberries, pineapple, dates, and some “fruitcake mix”) and 3 cups of walnuts…..YUM…..I was so excited just looking at the batter!
Ready for the oven
SO FAR SO GOOD!
One hour later
Now it just has to cool for 10 minutes and then…..TA DA…..it is officially a fruitcake!
oops (this one won't be going to KC!)
It fell apart! Oh no !
This one won't be going to KC either!
I am not even going to show you the picture of the third one……but my daddy won’t be seeing a fruitcake for his birthday! You can’t give someone a crumbled up cake – right?
Is there anything that I can do to fix it? Can you ice fruitcake? HELP!!!!
I won’t be sharing the recipe……..maybe I will try it again in another 20 years (that is how long it has been since I tried to make fruitcake the last time!!!!)
BTW it tastes delicious!
