Bro, you're such a fuckin' pussy, bro.

maybe something sour like a yogurt based thing on it?

try taxing it

>>17029948
Drench it in lemon juice or something? Or just eat smaller slices

>>17029980
this I heard it helps distribute the richness, but you have to continue to do it otherwise the cake will reacquire it all again.

Taxation is theft

You could make some sweet butter to eat with it, but it's not going to make it less rich. Don't worry though, fruitcake lasts forever. You'll be eating it through July.

>but is far too rich; I can't even eat a full slice of it. Can I fix this by adding more calories or something?

explain how that would work?

>>17031695
Citrus glazed can be very tart.

>>17031710
that won't change how rich it is.

>>17031727
Yeah, acid cuts richness. This idea is the basics. You shouldn't post anymore

>>17031733
>Yeah, acid cuts richness.
it may taste less rich but it will still be the same. you should stop posting.

>>17031733
if it's too rich , you're still going to feel like you want to gulp down some water or eat it with some thing more plain like cream/ice cream whether or not you add some lemon sugar glaze to it.

>>17033058
>or eat it with some thing more plain like cream/ice cream
that was pretty much the idea. use a glaze as the cream/ ice cream. I tried using some dusting sugar and it worked alright, I think I'm going to glaze one piece and if it works use it on the other loaf.

>it may taste less rich
that's the point, dumbass.

this isn't my fruitcake, this is like the third result when you askjeeves for an image of a fruitcake.

Why did fruitcake become some kind of Christmas punchline for baby boomers? What's wrong with it?
