Christmas with Southern Living 1996
I know, i know, 1996, how is that vintage? Well believe it or not 1996 was 29 years ago! Most of my recipes are 1980 and prior, a big focus on mid-century, but I wanted to include this recipe in the fruitcake posting because its a bit different with its use of chopped white chocolate, coconut, and orange peel.. Sounds refreshing.
The recipe notes that you may not be able to use the toothpic tdetermine if its done. tjis is due to the chocolate. Use a combination of visual cues and a toothpick or thin skewer. Look for edges that have pulled away from the pan slightly, a cake top that springs back when gently pressed. Then, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; if it comes out with a few moist, not soaking wet, crumbs, the cake is ready.
