Paul’s Fruitcake Corner
Welcome to Paul’s Fruitcake Corner. Here at the corner we
try fruitcake so you do not have to. We are going across the pond to jolly ole
England to try ‘Frank’s Farmhouse Bakery Traditional Rich Fruitcake. No expense
or distance is the sacrifices we make here at the corner for you dear readers.
I only glanced at the ingredient list. (I really should not look). Sultanas are
listed and I need to ‘Google” to find out that these are golden raisins.
Raisins and dates are another prevalent ingredient included with the usual list
of cake mixings.
Frank’s is not a very exciting fruitcake. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this cake. It is not overly dry but it could use a tiny boost of moisture. The sweetness of this cake is generated by the fruits; sultanas, raisins and dates. Sherry is a listed ingredient but is nowhere to be found. You have to be careful eating Frank’s fruitcake because I found several small unidentified hard wood like fragments while eating. I assumed they were nut shells but I did not see any nuts listed on the ingredient list. After thinking about it for a while it is possible to be bits of the raisin stem. I do like the flavor and appreciate the natural sweetness from the fruits. While, I did not do summersaults on Frank’s, I do want to tell you how much fun it is experiencing my fruitcake adventure.
