What size pan do you use? 8 or 9 inch round, 10x5 or other size loaf, tube pan, bundt?
?Do you sprinkle the cake wiith booze or leave it Baptist?
You do ask the most difficult questions! The recipe I gave will fill an 18cms. X 29cms. (approx 7" X 11") pan. You can always half the amounts and use a smaller pan.
I leave it Baptist because I have friends who are teetotal.

Super! I have two 7x11 pans that need more use.
For your friends--a verse from the Song of the Temperance Union:
We never eat fruitcake because it has rum
And one little bite turns a man to a bum.
Now can you imagine a sorrier sight
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight?

It does sound good, although I'd have to use pecans in place of walnuts (pecan trees everywhere here). Those dates are loaded with sugar though, so a diabetic would need to go easy on those.

The dates and the carrots both are full of sugar, but one bakes for fun, not to eat the results, right?
