> since you asked about our favorite fruit cake....

I always liked the one from the play "The Belle of Amherst"--this is the
first recipe I ever made using weights instead of measurements.  It
comes out like a rummy, fruity, poundcake, and lasts (as far as I can
tell) literally forever..As given in the play, I got three loaf pan
sized bricks; one went for a performance, and my parents nibbled on the
other two for about a year.
