Fruitcake came up in a conversation last week so I decided to make a batch. I've not made this before but it's cake, it can't be too hard. I searched for mom's recipe, a more cake than fruit variety. A sober cake. Found it. Made long shopping list.

This morning I assembled the recipe's ingredients, mixed them together, then poured them into two loaf pans. Fifty minutes at 350, forty if your oven can't go below 400.

Delicious, just like mom's. Here is Angela Gaston's fruitcake recipe.
