Dark Fruit Cake

Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Dark Fruit Cake. This Dark Fruit Cake is loaded with candied and dried fruits as well as chopped nuts. It is flavored with ground spices and a little molasses which colors the batter a beautiful dark golden brown. Once baked it is repeatedly brushed with alcohol, over several weeks, which imparts a lovely alcohol flavor and it also makes the cake wonderfully moist. The added bonus is that the alcohol acts as a preservative so the cake can be stored for ages and ages.
