I love challenges and this is one cake i have never dared to bake... When i made the candied orange peels, i knew i had to use them in a fruit cake. While browsing through fruit cake recipes, i came across one that i really liked and decided to try it out. I wish i had taken pictures for each stage. I will do so soon and update this recipe.
