Our December Challenge

Ah, fruitcake. You either love it or hate it (though it seems most people are in the latter camp). Well, here’s a fruitcake that more people can get behind: White Fruitcake. This type of fruitcake uses lighter ingredients and skips the alcohol. The result is a cakier and more appealing dessert that updates the holiday classic. Whether you want to try out fruitcake baking for the first time or convert friends and family into fruitcake fans, this is the recipe that’ll do the trick.
