[Sca-cooks] Useful things to do with fruitcake

[Sue Clemenger]

Probably so, and I love the richness of flavor in Guinness, but if you 
wanted to make a lighter fruitcake (and they do exist), it just occured 
to me that it might be fun to play with other alcohols, whether they 
were hoppy/bitter or not.  I was thinking of the Guinness Cake recipe as 
sort of a possible Ur-recipe.
My Dad liked fruitcake so much that they actually had it at their 
wedding, in a version known as "groom's cake," which, IIRC, is a 
light/white fruitcake.  That's probably what gave me the idea.  That, or 
living in an area of the country positively swamped with artisan beers.
Mmm....imagine a fruitcake made with some of the better fruit beers or 
spiced beers. ;o)
