Christmas Fruit Cake

This year I baked a less sweet and less mix fruit in cake. 😘 The cake is delicious. It's best to consume it the next day or even better after one to  two weeks or a month. Every 2-3 days, brush some brandy onto cake and wrap it up again. Repeat the process until the day you are ready to  cut it to share with family and friends. 😊

I baked two loaves of fruit cakes. 👆One big and one small.😄

We eat the small loaf of cake first, 👆this one is less alcohol.😊

👆 The big fruit cake, we cut on New Year's Eve.😉

👆Soak in brandy...😉
