moma b's fruitcake
(1 rating)
This is my husband's mom's recipe and has been in the family as long as he can remember. She gave it to all her children and I have been making it every Christmas since our marriage in 1957. It is a very simple recipe and is well worth the baking time. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
