Heirloom Fruitcake image

I wanted a holiday fruitcake made with butter, honey , eggs and cream. When I couldn't find a recipe, I created this one. I like this cake because it's not as sweet as many traditional varieties yet is loaded with fruits and nuts. -Sharon McClatchey, Muskogee, Oklahoma

This fruitcake was a bit dry, but the flavors were good. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by adding some applesauce or buttermilk. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.
