Fruitcake in America Homemade fruitcakes are often soaked in liqueurs or brandies and are very dense and heavy. In 1913, fruitcakes became widely available through mail-order catalogs.

Alcohol: medium sherry, dark rum, whisky, brandy or orange-flavoured liqueur are the usual flavours for fruit cakes. Brush 1-2 tablespoons over the cake immediately it is removed from the oven.
