Well, I'll eat fruitcake if there are no other options...but that's not usually the case around the holidays.

Okay, I think I'm going to have to make this cake for Christmas! I love eggnog, and I love chocolate! Speaking of which, have you seen the Target holiday milks? I bought a chocolate red velvet one that was delicious!

I'm not a big fan of fruitcake. I like the way it smells, and I love a lot of the ingredients, but I'm not into candied fruits. My Aunt Betty always apologizes when she doesn't get it made for Christmas, but nobody cares except my mom.

I love fruitcake. My mother made it every year when I was little and my sister has taken over the job. It's really something that takes a lot of muscles, but it's so worth it.
That said homemade fruitcake is a different beast than store bought fruitcake. Store bought fruitcake tends toward dry and brick like. Unless of course you buy from Gesthemanie Farms in Kentucky. Their fruitcake is appropriately boozy and DELICIOUS!

Not a fan of fruitcake and never have been even though my grandmother used to make some every year.

SUCH a great idea to top a chocolate cake with eggnog glaze! Do you know if pregnant women can eat pasteurized eggs?

I actually don't think I've ever had fruitcake! But I really want to try it from Collin Street Bakery after watching an episode about it on The Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network.

Not a fan of fruit cake. Maybe it's because of the negative connotation over the years. :p

I don't think I've ever had fruitcake...but from what I've heard, it's not so good. I'd much rather have eggnog chocolate bundt cake!

2011-12-15T12:40:31.285-06:00

Fruitcake...I've never liked it. I don't like those crazy colorful "fruits".

However, THIS cake...eggnog chocolate bundt...sounds perfectly amazing :)

I don't like fruitcake, but my hubby is from Georgia and loves it. His mama used to make the best fruitcake according to him. I try to make one every year for him.

fruitcake?? blegh. even if it's homemade, i still see visions of the overly sweet, hard, door-stop-like loaf that is exaggerated in movies and tv. i just can't do it. i'd rather waste the calories on cheesecake or brownies!!

I've never had fruit cake! I know this is awful. I have always heard awful things about it so I'ver never tried it. I like fruit and I like cake so I think hearsay is the only thing stopping me.

Ah fruitcake....the food of controversy. My opinion on this sugary lump is not entirely favorable, but it does bring back memories of when I was younger- as my Aunt Rose would ship us one of these sweet, chewy masses every Christmas. It would then sit in the freezer for around 10 months until my mom felt less guilty for throwing it away :) Good times!

2011-12-15T11:55:14.090-06:00

fruitcake be weird. actually I've never tried Fruitcake but when I was little I remember reading a "Junnie B Jones" story book and she won a fruitcake in a contest and hated it. the whole book is bascially about fruitcake being the worst cake in the world and I think it really had a big impact on me. haha. the eggnog cake looks awesome though!

that cake looks amazing, Emily!

Fruitcake...hmm...honestly I've never tried one, mainly because anything gummy and green inside a cake scares me a little

But then I saw Ina Garten making some fruit cake cookies yesterday which looked pretty good!

Fruit cake! I ca'nt say I"ve ever actually tried it.. but it will forever remind me of the movie Mixed Nuts which happens to be one of the greatest holiday movies of all time!

2011-12-15T10:16:55.908-06:00

Darn you Emily! I was thinking of making your chocolate rum cake for Christmas dinner, but now I'm torn between that one and this one! How am I supposed to choose? I suppose with the children around, this would be a better choice?

Fruitcake? Not my thing. I'm not fond of most dried fruits for one thing (and those green things - ick!). I'm also not fond of most spice cakes. I don't begrudge anyone a love of fruitcake though. If you like it, you can have it!

2011-12-15T09:56:03.541-06:00

I actually like fruitcake provided it's made right. A lot of commercial ones are dry and many of them aren't made with real alcohol then wrapped and aged for a couple of months. No wonder people hate it!
I do okay at Christmas since I'm almost the only person who eats it - I sometimes have some left after Valentine's Day.
I also love plum pudding - now that would be good with an eggnog sauce, wouldn't it?!?

I have not had fruitcake since I hated it as a kid, however, now that I am older, it actually looks good to me!

2011-12-15T09:41:31.694-06:00

I'm not a fan of fruitcake. I really don't like it. I would much rather have pumpkin bread or gingerbread.

I'm also not a fan of eggnog, haha. I just don't like it. But thankfully you have lots of other good recipes to use. =]

Thanks,

Jessica

2011-12-15T09:30:38.455-06:00

My opinion of fruit cake isn't a very good one. My mom has always made fruit cake for my dad, and he really likes it, but I'm seriously not a huge fan. I think it's the fact that it's just got too many different candied fruits in it, and the fact that I'm not a huge cake fan to begin with.
