Chocolate cakes and butter cakes and cakes with lots of spice.
Layer cakes and angel cakes I think are very nice.
But when it comes to Christmas time can anyone dispute,
That when you bake a Christmas cake,
It really should, be surely could be,
Yes it would be positveiy aboslutely
Must be made with fruit!

Fruticake!

Sift the flour and pour in eggs.

Now you add some lemon peal, I would say a cup or two.
Then some raisins, dates, and figs, just how much is up to you.

Pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts.
Almonds, and all other crazelnuts .

Cinnamon, cinnamon, don't forget the cinnamon.
Cloves and spice will make it nice but don't forget the cinnamon.

Now you add some ________ cherries.
Glistening like the Christmas berries.
Add some rum but just a drop.
Then it's time to...stop!

Have a bite of fruitcake!

Mmmmmmmm

If you know the other word, TELL ME!!!!! I desperately want to know.
