Cassandra's "Light" Fruitcake Recipe
This bourbon-doused fruitcake is sure to turn the taste buds of even the most skeptical holiday guest. This family recipe was a childhood tradition that lived on through Cassandra King after her mother passed—but just slightly askew—until her daddy let her in on the secret touch she was missing: "Every time your mama wasn't looking, I'd sneak into the closet and pour more whiskey over those cakes." If that's not a true Southern tale, we don't know what is.
