Easter Fruitcake
"This cake takes a little work, but it's a real treat. I prefer using loaf pans. After cake is cool, I like to place it on a sheet of wax paper, douse it with some Malibu rum, wrap it up tightly and set it aside for a few days before serving."

After living in Jax FL for 15 years, Hubby and I have retired. We moved back to WV and the mountains where we grew up.
It's been quite an adjustment getting use to the season changes again!
Our son and youngest daughter live very close and I enjoy seeing my grandkids.
I enjoy gardening both veggies and flowers.
