Fruit Cake - What's all in it?

fruit cakes have in them all sorts of dried fruits,like raisins,sultanas,figs any type of fruit,glazed cherries are probably the squishy things,orange rind.there are so many recipes for fruit cakes out there noadays.you usually soak the fruit in brandy,sherry for a couple of days then bake a cake.it is very rich sort of cake.and you either like it or not.i only like a little piece every now and then.i am not a great lover of fruit cake either.cheers sue

I cannot tell you whats in fruit cake because i dont know. I have always hated fruit cake. I think it tastes horrible. But it seems like thats all people wants to bring to a dinner around the holidays.
