Christmas fruit cakes are without a doubt some of the most popular desserts in the history of the world. They were eagerly awaited treats on festival days during the Middle Ages, and during the Victorian Era in Great Britain, fruit cakes became more elaborate and were consumed on Christmas. By this point, they could be shipped to other areas of the world and folks in America were coming to enjoy fruit cake as well. Today, it is not hard to find traditional Christmas fruit cakes that are high quality and hand baked with care.

Everyone Can Enjoy A Christmas Fruit Cake
The traditional fruit cake is filled with dried and candied fruits. No citron or orange peel are mixed into the batter, so if you or someone else do not enjoy those two ingredients, your taste buds can rest easy. There is also a tasty combination of nuts in the batter. To add that signature touch to the fruit cake, a mixture of brandy, rum, and bourbon are baked into the mixture as well. However, there is a kosher-friendly version of this traditional cake, which contains no liqueur. A sugar-free version is available as well. Nobody should have to miss out on enjoying this time-honored and very special tradition.
