Paul’s Fruitcake Corner
Welcome to Paul’s Fruitcake Corner, Here at the corner we try fruitcakes so you do not have to. We seem to have a religious theme going with a cake by the monks at Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville, Virginia. This cake comes in a decorative tin. This cake is crumby is a good way. Some fruitcakes are dense blocks of nuts & fruits with batter being the binder. This is more of a cake with a smattering of fruits and nuts throughout. The crumbs are moist and tender. The texture is soft and cakelike. There are candied fruits, raisins, orange & lemon peel all dispersed throughout this cake. Brandy & Sherry are listed on the ingredient list but they are not discernable taste wise. This is a very nice cake and is just a little different being more caky than fruit & nutty like. Amen.
This concludes Paul’s Fruitcake Corner 2024. Next week I will have a brief recap of this wonderful fruitcake season. Some final thoughts on this Christmas Eve;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!
