That's the perfect description for American/Canadian fruitcake, MH.

Maybe if I ever tasted a really good one, I might feel differently about fruitcake.

See MH’s description – that’s why what they pass off as fruitcake on this side of the Atlantic is best used as a doorstop.

I only like fruit cake if I make it myself or it's a good make like marks and spencers. I have mine with a bit of cheese as well, a Lancashire tradition and very tasty smile I may pick up one of those mini slabs this year, a good one from m&s smile

I’m with TTD – M&S make the best. I’m going to see if any of our Brit stores do the small slabs as I certainly don’t want a big cake all to myself.
