Now normally I am not a fan of a frut cake. lol I use some for door stops or book case shelve stops or even paper weights before I would eat them. lol However, I might give this whirl. The triple sec got me. lol
I am not a fan of anyone's fruitcake except my Mom's, but your recipe looks very similar. The only difference is she doesn't do the triple sec glaze, but that looks good to me! The quality of the dried fruit makes all the difference in this cake...pears and apricots give it a fantastic texture :)
A good fruitcake can be wonderful. Stay away from the glaced/candied fruit. If you make it in a round pan & use brandy instead of triple sec you put it in a covered cake or cookie tin for a week for it to infuse.
@zebraluna yeah, I didnt have any brandy : ( so I had to use what I had. I think its the infusing part that scares me, it was pretty good straight out the oven, but I know a true fruitcake has to sit for awhile.
what a wonderful idea to use trail mix instead of that nasty candied stuff in a tub! :)
