Boiled Fruit Cake

Bonsoir,

I loves fruitcake, although I'm not a big fan of the store bought fruit cake. Made this homemade fruit cake a couple of days ago for the event at mon mari's office. This is my second attempt, so I am glad to hear that people liked it.

They ask me for the recipes, so it's my pleasure to be able to share this fruitcake recipe here. Fortunately the recipe's not complicated, it was a simple and easy for a boiled fruitcake. Let's make a fruitcake now.
