December 27 Fruitcake Day

Today day is December 27 Fruitcake Day celebrate every year, almost every age people love the fruitcake.
Fruitcake is a cake made with chopped candied fruit and/or dried fruit, nuts, and spices, and soaked in spirits. The earliest fruitcake recipe dates back to ancient Romans. It was made with barley mash, raisins, pine nuts, and pomegranate seeds. In middle Ages, spices, honey, and preserved fruits were used.
Typical American fruit cakes are rich in fruit and nuts. In the United States, the fruit cake has been a ridiculed dessert. Some attribute the beginning of this trend with The Tonight Show host Johnny Carson. He would joke that there really is only one fruitcake in the world, passed from family to family. Commercial fruit cakes are often sold from catalogues by charities as a fundraiser. (With material from Wikipedia)
