what does it actually entail to soak in whatever beverage? Do you put a shotglass worth over the top or wrap the cake in soaked towels?
Soak some cheese cloth in your fav bourbon or whisky. Wring it out a little. Wrap the cake in it. Seal it in tin foil and store in a cool place. You can poke some holes in it too if you want to but it may get too soggy with the booze. I love Jim Beam myself.
I have a great recipe for fruitcake that I will share as soon as I find it. I also buy the Dark fruitcake from Harry & David when I dont feel like baking one. Also, Assumption Abbey Bakery in SW Missouri has wonderful Dark fruitcake! The Monks bake them for their fundraising. I love their fruitcake and the postcards they send to remind their customers to order. They have a website and a FB page. Do is soon tho. They SELL OUT!
