The recipe used beaten eggs as leavening so the results will vary greatly depending on the skill of the maker. The truth is that I was never a big fan of fruitcake but I had a slice of my auntie's fruitcake last year and realized it was pretty tasty. It's a smooth, pleasant, buttery, tasting fruitcake. OTOH, my fruitcake making days are over.

Well, you might not be able to make mom's special asian fruitcake,
but here's what yoose can do on that rock: Spoon canned pinneaple
chunks onto a honkey moon pie. Spray generously with canned whipped
cream. Plop a chrismas decoration on. Make up a fanciful asian name
for it. Serve to yoose guests.

They'll never know the difference.
