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?
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!
SO FAR SO GOOD!
Now it just has to cool for 10 minutes and then…..TA DA…..it is officially a fruitcake!
It fell apart! Oh no !
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!
