WONDERFUL MINI FRUITCAKE



Wonderful Mini Fruitcake image

These are wonderful to make for the holidays..they always bake out beautifully, and taste so fantastic, and also, chock full of fruit and nuts...This recipe makes five mini loaves, which is great, as you can give away as gifts, or just keep them for yourself...These loaves acctually taste better the second or third day, so wrap in plastic, and store in the fridge, then freeze if desired...I like to drizzle the cakes with brandy before storing them..this makes them extra special

I've found that people who normally won't eat fruitcake make an exception when they sample these. Using mini muffin pans for baking creates fun, single-serving cakes. -Libby Over, Phillipsburg, Ohio
