Coffee Club

Good morning. I'll share my coffee.

You know, fruitcake is a dense and heavy. GF bread is usually dense and heavy. Soooo... Maybe if I used almond flour instead of wheat flour for fruitcake... I could -- in theory! -- make myself a GF fruitcake.

POOF! My brain explodes with the thought!

Sounds like a winner to me. I'd like to try it with added pecan meal in the mix.

Good morning! All this talk about fruitcake has me curious. I really don’t know if I like it or not, honestly I can’t remember having any! It seems like something that would be good with coffee.

Yes. It's called Mrs Harvey's I think. We will be home by mid afternoon I think and she will be glad to get you a copy. Look for a MSG from @Rambling Iris.

Would I also be able to get her recipe, please?

Will do.

Our trip got cancelled. I'm resting as much as possible today. Probably got myself in trouble again. I had a second cup of coffee. I might be a night owl tonight.

Sounds like it would work to me. You may want to put in more egg for the binding agent and use unblanched almond flour to add a nutty flavor.

That's nothing new. I am like that and I don't even drink coffee.

Here's how I would describe fruitcake.

Very sweet, sticky, full of candied fruit. Nuts if you like. Some have brandy or another spirit added.

Sticky enough that if you pick up a piece and eat it as finger food, you'll need to wash your hands afterward. It would be absolutely AWESOME with coffee!
