A Tale of Two Fruitcakes

It can be the best of cakes, the worst of cakes, it makes the mouth water, it makes a good door stop...

All joking aside, I have a confession to make. I love fruitcake. There I finally said it.

Now, I know what you are thinking--EWWW! Right? Stop right there. I’m not talking about store bought fruitcake. I’m also not talking about the kind that contains fluorescent bits that kind of resemble fruit. Nope. I’m talking about homemade fruitcake. The kind made with dried fruit, real candied citrus and fed a healthy dose of booze. Mmm... I’m getting hungry just typing this.

Grapefruit Olive Oil Bundt Cake

One of the great things about moving to Texas is the grapefruit. Seriously. Texas pink grapefruit are so delicious. They are fragrant and surprisingly sweet, as grapefruits go. Plus, they are inexpensive here. So, I end up buying them in 5 lb bags. I, um, I mean we, have been going through them so fast I may start buying the 20 lb bags. I think it's safe to say, I won't end up with scurvy in the near future.
