I mentioned earlier that I didn't like dark fruit cake. Not only do I not like the rum but it is also the combination of dates and molasses that gives it that heart burn taste. Sorry that the best way I can describe the taste. So needless to say I really liked this version of dark fruit cake. Enjoy!
