Do you have a recipe for a fruit cake I can bake for Christmas?!

Answers:
Sorry I do not keep recipes
But I can recommend that you leave out the citrus bitter fruits
The spice cake or banana nut cake or carrot cake or a mixture of the three
That way you do not have to use the Evil words "Fruit Cake "
Rather "My Christmas Spice Banana Carrot Delight"
Don't forget to use a sugar glaze with several nuts
