Hoot'n'Holler whiskey cake - Big Big Forums

I saw akafatbottomgirl in another thread mention she was making the above mentioned cake. It sounds real good and was wondering if anybody has a recipe for it? My mother use to get a cake every Christmas that had brandy. The person that made it passed away and we never got the recipe. If this is like that one I know my mother would would be thrilled to peices to have it again. She might be 72 and diabetic but I know she'll love it. Can anyone help?

Hey!
If you send me your email address, I will go find my receipe (my mom's) and email it back to you. I am leaving tomorrow for 10 days, so hopefully I'll get it to you before I go. Her receipe is AWESOME! You can use brandy, if you want to -- we've always used whiskey, but that is 'cuz its what Mom always used. Its the best damn fruit cake there is, and I personally HATE fruitcake, but the Hoot 'n' Holler is delicious! *LOL* Pecans, walnuts, raisins .... and a rich, dark batter that bakes into a wonderful cake. Course, then you soak it day after day with booze of your choice & keep fruit slices on it, we use apples & oranges (keeps the cake moist & won't spoil, because of the whiskey added to it every day). I ALMOST know it by heart, but not enough to post it here, cuz if I screw up & forget something, that'd be awful *LOL*
Anyhow, if you want to, email me:

Take care!

The Fruitcake Story

My grandmother used to make fruitcakes. Hated them. Couldn't tell her I hated them. Would take a teensy piece, cram it in my mouth and go spit it out in the toilet. She died the December before I got married the following March. Got married and sh*t if my mother-in-law didn't make those spawnsofhellsbakery fruitcakes too. Wrapped in rags soaked in whiskey. And sh*t if we didn't get one EVERY d*mned holiday season for the first 10 years we were married. I couldn't give them away, hubby would eat like a slice (being the good son he is) and there sat the cursed fruitcake. Kids hated it, birds wouldn't eat it, friends wouldn't come over because they KNEW I had fruitcake. I couldn't throw it out, because I knew my omnipotent MIL would know. So I'd freeze it. Next year came along, another fruitcake. Tossed the old one out, repeated the cycle for 10 years. I finally said, "Marie. NO more fruitcakes. I HATE fruitcakes." You'd have thought I was the devil incarnate by the look on her face. It was blasphemous. But all 9 of her kids are nodding YEA behind her back.

I've been traumatized and stalked by fruitcakes since I was a toddler. I'm STILL in therapy because of it.

When I die, it will probably be because I was walking innocently down the street, and someone got a fruitcake as a gift and tossed it out their 14th story apartment window and it hit me in the head and killed me.
