THE FANNY FARMER DARK FRUITCAKE
This famous fruitcake recipe by Fanny Farmer goes back years, I made it recently using the brandied fruit cake option as stated on the bottom of the recipe and I strongly recommend to use that method as the brandy will strongly intensify the flavor and preserve the cake, this fruit cake is wonderful and I plan on making it again.

Steps:
- With 3/4 cup of the dark rum, pour over chopped fruit and nuts. Cover and let soak for at least 48 hours. The fruit should be stirred once a day or so.
- Keep remaining rum for after baking directions -- see below.
- Stir flour, salt, baking soda and spices together Set aside.
- In separate bowl, Cream shortening and brown sugar together till fluffy.
- Add eggs and beat one at a time.
- Add molasses, jam and mix well.
- Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in fruit.
- Prepare your round fruit cake pan by oiling and line pan with paper. Oil and flour again lightly.
- Ensure the top of the paper is about 1 inch or so above the top of the pan.
- Fill prepared pans 2/3 full.
- Bake in a slow oven 300°F for 2 hours or so.
- Place a shallow pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven during baking. This will ensure the cake stays moist. Remove this pan of water during the last hour of baking.
- Cool completely before removing paper.
- Storing and mellowing of fruit Cake: Wrap a cheese cloth that has been soaked in the remaining 1/4 cup of rum over the cake, covering it completely.
- Next wrap the cake and cheesecloth in aluminum foil wrap.
- Place in a cool place. Taste of cake is best when stored for 4 weeks or so! I've often brushed egg white over the cake, rolled out almond paste and laid it over the top and sides of cake. I then ice it. Everyone raves! NOTE: I've often doubled the recipe for a larger cake.

BLACK BOURBON FRUITCAKE
If you like fruitcake, you will really like this one. A co-worker at my husband's office said this is the best she's ever had. I got it from a magazine back in the 80's and again found it posted on the internet by Cheri Hahn, Rocky River. There were so many fruitcake recipes on Recipezaar I hope this isn't a duplicate.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray two loaf pans. (The internet recipe specified lining the bottoms of the pans with waxed paper and grease the paper. I did not.) Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, salt and nutmeg onto a piece of waxed paper. Set aside. Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, flour mixture, molasses, coffee and bourbon. Fold in raisins, red cherries, green cherries, citron, dates, orange peel, lemon peel and pecan pieces. Divide batter evenly between the two pans. Bake on the center rack of your oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until cake tester inserted comes out clean. Remove cakes from pans to wire rack to cool. For the topping, melt the jelly. Brush with jelly and arrange pecan and cherry halves on tops. Wrap carefully in triple layer of cheesecloth soaked in bourbon. Seal tightly with foil. Refrigerate.
- Note: I do not have my clipping that I originally used. That's why I went to the internet to find it. The internet recipe calls for different amounts of the candied fruits and the amount of jelly, so you might want to look it up to compare. Also I did not mix in the bourbon when I made it, nor did I soak it with bourbon. It is still good, but be sure to refrigerate.
- I do not remember how long it took to make this.
