Fruitcake is pretty much a holiday staple in our family, much like Chinese ham. After going to a doctor’s appointment at St. Luke’s Medical Center this morning, my mom treated me out to coffee and a snack at DeliFrance. That’s where I discovered their yummy yummy fruitcake.
Most commercial fruitcakes taste too spicy and feel too dry in my mouth, and I had my doubts about the DeliFrance fruitcake. For something that was half the size of your average fruitcake, it sure cost quite a bit of money. Tasting it, however, made me change my mind. DeliFrance fruitcake has to be the softest, moistest fruitcake I have ever had. It took me by surprise because I didn’t know that fruitcake could feel like a really soft cookie in my mouth. This explains why the fruitcake was baked in such small pans. Apparently, if you try to make larger fruitcake moist by adding more butter, the whole thing will crumble and fall apart.
Mocha Crunch Fruitcake and Premium English Fruitcake costs 250 pesos (Solo Size), 775 pesos (Deluxe) and Grand at 1750 pesos which has to be made to order. A slice is 60 pesos though.
