Default MIL won't part with recipe

A little background he

My mother-in-law has made a lovely white fruitcake for years. In fact, it
was a country fair prize winner. For several years I have repeatedly asked
her for the recipe, especially because my oldest son (HER grandson) likes it
and I would like to have it to pass on to him (you know - "here's your
grandmother's beloved fruitcake recipe", etc.). Well, for reasons known
only to her, she just smiles (smirks?) and says nothing (ok, maybe there are
some issues here). Imagine my surprise when her other daughter-in-law (the
"favorite") announced to me recently that MIL gave her the recipe ages ago
(and no, I will not ask SIL for the recipe - more issues). Okay, I give up.

Does anyone have a recipe for a white fruitcake that meets the following
criteria:

- must be VERY moist
- must be full of bright colored fruit
- does NOT contain any nuts
- has no fancy topping, just the lightly browned top of the cake.

Thanks for any help. You may just avert a family crisis.
