Fabulous Fruitcake for the holidays!


OK, it's called It's Not Fruitcake. But American GraFrutti has got the MOST DELICIOUS cake of nuts and fruits I've had since I stopped eating gluten. I mean it.

Let me explain: I am a part of that rare breed of people who actually like fruitcake. A specific kind, from the city of Claxton, Ga., has always been a favorite. I love the mix of pecans and cherries, raisins and fruit.

I know. I know. I am the one who would claim the leftover bars given away at the office party (one year I scored EIGHT of them!)

But back to this cake. Wow. Amazing. I absolutely love it! Marilyn Santulli, the beautiful chef behind these luscious cakes, sent me a loaf for a Thanksgiving treat. I saved it until today.

Moist. Not overly, cloyingly sweet like most cakes. Crunchy pecans. Beautiful cherries. Amazing.

Here are the flavors and details.

Gluten Free Flours, pecans, raisins, all natural cherries, raw agave nectar, natural oil blends, vegan beet sugar, soy protein, organic spices. 0 grams trans fats.

BERRY WONDERFUL (this is the flavor I enjoyed).

Now, I know someone out there has someone who loves fruitcake -- gluten free or not, this cake is a delicious, healthy holiday treat.

Trust me. I'm an expert.

Much love, and that cake is calling me.
