Black Fruitcake, The one with no wheat flour
Let's just start out by saying Fruitcake has been the cake made fun of by so many. Like canned spam, hotdogs, bread in a can, potted meat and so on. In the past it was a way of preservation of food. At war spam, saved many of lives from starvation. When the Roman armies were mopping up the world to assimilate all the world into the Roman ways of life, they invented many things. One being the first energy bar or fruitcake. This began the history, the jokes, and the facts. Unlike what Johnny Carson said that there was actually one fruitcake made and it's being past all over the world, there are many different types. It has became a stereotype food. Well I hope, if you try one that if it's your first time or more that it taste good. Either way I hope you try one with an open mind.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Line whatever you using with parchment paper or wax/ butter paper. Paper sticks to the pan if you spray or grease the pan first. Ok let's begin. Add the pecan flour to a big mixing vessel. I started with a big pot then had to pour into a huge roaster. Add baking soda, salt. and spices to pecan flour and mix.

Except the brandy, add in all the ingredients, eggs, and melted butter. It got to big for the pot and here is where it went into the roaster to be mixed.

Finally mixed. I used a spring formed pan, bundt cake pan and a flat baking pan for making flats for munching. Bake 45 minutes on 375° Fahrenheit. After that bake the rest of the way on lower heat at 325° Fahrenheit till done. To tell if it's done stick a bamboo skerer or a knife if it comes out clean it's done.

Let cool in pan till pan is cool to touch. Remove from pan and remove parchment paper allow to cool. If using Brandy pour it on and wrap in butter/wax paper put into an air tight container or ziplock bags. Check from time to time adding brandy as it dries over the next 2 months if it last that long it may be consumed by then. Store in refrigerator. You can also freeze it.

I added Brandy to the spring form it took 1-1/2 cup right away. I hade to split it in two and put into ziplock bags. Normally you wrap in cloth and keep cloth wet with brandy for a month. Then it should be preserved add brandy from time to time for the next 100 years. I think in Michigan they have them dated from 1800's. Merry Christmas from my heart to all I hope you enjoy!!!

Xmas Chocolate Fruit Cake Pt. 1 Xmas Chocolate Fruit Cake Pt. 1
#MyCookBook2020, I decided to revamp this recipe with a bit of extra oomph without going over the top with decor or extra icing. I still prefer my cakes to be simple. Because simplicity is always the ultimate sophistication, do you agree?I will be dividing this recipe into 2 parts: soaking of fruits and baking the cake. But it will be all in the same post. I will update the 2nd part after 10 days; that is how long I am gonna soak the fruits. You can do it in 7 days. You can of cos use any types of liqueur you desire, I decided to go for Cointreau for that extra fruity punch.To make life easier, I am using a dried fruits mix from Foodsterr. You can also use any other dried fruit combinations you are fond of too. Dried cranberries, blueberries, candied lemon peels or sultanas are great options. I will see you in 10 days.

Easy Fruit Cake (for grownups, too) Easy Fruit Cake (for grownups, too)
Ever since I was a kid, I've often made pound cake. As I got older, recipes full of butter and flour make it easy to get fat! I'm worried about that. So, I reduced the butter and flour and came up with this moist and delicious cake. It'll fully satisfy you.There's not a lot of butter, flour, or sugar, but it's delicious as-is. It's like a cake from a high-end cake shop! It's delicious the same day or the next. However, if you over-bake it, it will dry out, so be careful! Recipe by Asamato

Easy Pound Cake with Dried Fruit Easy Pound Cake with Dried Fruit
I created this recipe because I wanted to make a delicious pound cake that can be a little gift to take to somebody's house.There are recipes that use vegetable oil, but the butter definitely makes the cake more delicious.Please mix the mixture well after adding the eggs so that it won't separate.The batter seems a bit thick, but once it's baked, it will flatten so it's ok.It's also tasty to add bananas, walnuts, or make a marble pound cake with cocoa powder or matcha powder.I think it's ok to use rum instead of brandy.

Chocolate Cake Chocolate Cake
I made this cake imagining a cake which was made in a cartoon on Valentine. If you know what I am talking about, please give it a try.The amount of sugar for the pound cake is for the cake to be slightly sweetened. Adjust the amount to your liking If you make a cut in the dough before baking the cake, the cake would be baked nicely. Please make the time to chill after putting the creamy chocolate in between the cake to be at least 3 hours. Unless it will fall apart when you take it out. Recipe by Sarichirusan -
