Actually, prune juice would be a good addition to fruitcake (as long as
it is a dark fruitcake). Don't soak the raisins in it, just use it to
thin the batter.

Your recipe calls for a little bit of sherry. Are you using sherry?
Just soak the raisins in sherry instead of adding that tiny bit as a
flavoring.
