"This is definitely our kind of cake because we do like all the fruits. This also keeps well (wrapped in foil) - can also drizzle some rum over the top after it is baked. I did make one change and ..." See morethat was to subsitute corn syrup for honey (no honey lovers here) which works fine. Highly recommend this little fruit cake."
