Havana Fruitcake

From Red Truck Bakery (
 4.7)

“The Red Truck’s secret to their Cuban fruitcake is a light hand on the spices and giving the cake enough time to age in rum. And no colored fruit—this is the real deal!”—Virginia Living magazine

We learned to make this in Cuba in a private paladar and it’s a big favorite among those who think they hate fruitcake. This hefty loaf is full of pineapple, almonds, pecans, raisins, coconut, spices and soaked in dark rum for a couple of months. Please slice it chilled.

Started in a Virginia farmhouse over 30 years ago, Brian Noyes’ Red Truck Bakery is one of Condé Nast Traveler’s 13 Destination Bakeries in America. Named after the red 1954 Ford truck Brian used to deliver his rustic baked goods to local country stores, Red Truck Bakery has gained a cult-like following that includes Oprah and former President Barack Obama—with Roadfood’s Jane & Michael Stern being among some of their loudest and proudest early supporters.

The cranberry orange muffins were so good and the coffee cake, which looked like a sugar bomb, surprisingly was not overly sweet. The granola was also very good.

Loved the mince pie from Red Truck. Its been a long time since I have enjoyed a well made mince pie and this one was PERFECT! Thank you Red Truck. Since this is the only purchase I have made as yet through "goldbelly," I'll wait until I make another purchase through your website before I give it the "10" it really deserves.

My daughter said the crust was delicious, but she was expecting more spices and less fruit filling. She said it was not like the mince meat pies she had while living in England. It was good and her other guests ate it and ask what kind of pie it was, many thought it was a chutney type pie.
