This...Hi Meeta, first time commenting on your blog. This was such a wonderful recipe. I made it over the weekend - I couldn't add the rum for various reasons, and just for kicks I mixed in 2 tsps of instant coffee (Bru). The result was a super fragrant, dark fruitcake that hada slight hint of bitterness.Priya Ramachandranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641739714585961257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-38529407015401466252007-12-17T23:29:00.000+01:002007-12-17T23:29:00.000+01:00Hi there Meeta,I hope this will be my last questio...Hi there Meeta,<BR/><BR/>I hope this will be my last question on the cake (blushing)... I was asked to slice the cake for practical purposes (hee hee) so did that (no i'm not complaining... one who sliceth the cake gets to eateth all the crumbs!). I got quite a bit of crumbs... is it normal or is there a special way to slice a fruit cake? thanks for your patient replies despite the busy season, Lathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832550856132985327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-48272305928453243902007-12-17T13:28:00.000+01:002007-12-17T13:28:00.000+01:00Oh yipeeee Latha!
