The Boozy Fruit Cake is a fun cake that I haven’t made in years.
At the beginning of the summer, I decided that it was time to make this again.
With so many summer fruits available just down the street at Rossi Farms,
well,
it was a “no brainer”.
I decided in June to start the fruit to use for our December dinner.
Here is how it all took place:
