Mystery Fruitcake
Categories: Holiday, Christmas, Raisin, Cakes
1 package of Cake mix; spice or yellow
4 cups of candied mixed fruit = 2 lbs
1 1/2 cup of seedless raisins = 1/2 lb
1 cup of chopped dates = 6 1/2 oz
4 1/2 cups of pecan halves = 1 lb
1 package of white frosting mix
1 sprig of mistletoe that has been hung to dry
Make cake as directed on package. Cool. Crumble cooled cake into large bowl. Add fruits, mistletoe and nuts. Make frosting according to directions. Add to fruit, nuts, mistletoe and cake. Stir with spoon or toss together with hands until mixture is damp and blended together. Pack tightly into 2 foil-lined 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Pat down with buttered hands until smooth. Cover cake with foil. Chill in refrigerator at least 24 hours. Cake improves if stored longer, but should be kept in refrigerator. Slice about 1/4-inch thick with sharp knife and serve cold. Makes 2 loaves, about 6 1/2 pounds
Veeerry interesting! Perhaps this is where the mistletoe went? And where were you on the night the mistletoe was replaced by the fruitcake, grh?
ps-don't nobody eat the fruitcake-- blech!
FG members will suggest crime.
