PINEAPPLE COCONUT FRUITCAKE

Pineapple Coconut Fruitcake image

I really don't care much for fruitcake. That being said, this recipe actually sounds like it might be good. I am adding it here so I can find the recipe to bake for Christmas. I may substitute 1/2 cup coconut rum for half the pineapple juice when I make it. NOTE: Cake needs to mellow for 2 weeks before serving.

I got this recipe from my friend Julie, and her version does not have the mixed spice in it, but I love it with the spice in. Not a traditional fruitcake, but a lovely light fruity cake.
