Easy Fruitcake Recipe

This fruitcake recipe is really the simplest you’ll ever get. Although the recipe does not instruct that, it helps the fruit to swell out nicely when they are soaked in the orange juice for a few hours. Sometimes the orange juice is a bit sour, in which case a half cup of sugar may be added. Nothing prevents you from adding a cup of nuts of your own choice.
