I don't have a recipe for you Judy, wish I did. Great grandma used to soak
the Dickens out of her fruit cake with fine whiskey. I'm thinking any dense
sort of cake recipe you have would do fine. The trick is to punch holes in
the cake ( with a skinny hat pin or something similar), soak it with good
stuff and wrap it with a feedsack weight dishtowel and 'tin' it to absorb
the goodness. You really do need weeks to do it properly but nobody will
care. Polly
