OLD FASHIONED LIGHT FRUITCAKE
This is a very light fruitcake to be made for the Holiday season. When cake is cooled, wrap in brandy soaked chessecloth, then wrap in foil, and store for several weeks to allow flavors to mellow. I usually make these in July or August to get ready for the Christmas Season, and check on them a few times and add more brandy if needed, They are simply delicious by the time you eat them!!
