Hi, does anyone have a good fruit cake recipe? I previously used this recipe but I felt that it was too light and fluffy, not moist, dense or rich enough..

Zest of 1 orange

1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp allspice
1. Soak fruit in juice overnight, drain
2. Combine fruit, butter, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice in a saucepan.

4. In another bowl, combine flour, bp, bs
5. Sift dry into wet ingredients
6. Beat in eggs
7. Pour into a 10” round tin
