As a long time baker of various fruitcakes, I cannot imagine using an
ordinary cakemix for the batter. Fruitcakes are geenrally made with a
batter more akin to poundcakes. If I were forced to use a mix, I would
choose a poundcake mix. Ordinary cake mixes produce too airy and light a
cake to properly support the fruitcake ingredients.
