  • Regular or Dark Recipe?
    Our “Regular” fruit cake recipe, a traditional favorite, is more popular than our “Dark” variety; however, the “Dark” cakes contain the same high fruit-and-nut content. The difference lies in the molasses, spices and natural, sun-dried raisins which give the “Dark” cakes their distinctive, darker color. Our “Regular” fruit cakes feature golden raisins and imitation rum flavoring. The “Regular” recipe outsells the “Dark” by approximately eight-to-one, but both offer fruit cake “at its Claxton best!” For initial orders, we recommend the “Regular” recipe.

"I have been enjoying Claxton Fruit Cake for most of my 52 years on this earth. I remember as a child both sets of grandparents would make their own, but they would always buy your fruitcake. I remember sitting at my grandparents' table at night drinking coffee and enjoying a slice of your fruitcake. As I grew older and married, I never lost the taste for a Claxton Fruit Cake. In fact, my husband and I both get mighty upset when we can't find it. We carry on the old ways at Christmas: Brazil nuts, Walnuts, Pecans, Oranges, Apples, and best of all, Claxton Fruit Cake.

Thank you all so much for the recollection of wonderful memories and your devotion to carrying on a family tradition."

I recall enjoying Claxton Fruit Cakes over 45 years ago, My grandmother would buy them every year. I carry on the tradition now, and they bring back many good memories.

You haven't had fruitcake until you've had a Claxton Fruit Cake. I listen to so many people make jokes about it and then I just think apparently they haven't had the real deal. Every year, I order my fruitcake for my Grandfather and will continue to do so. The beautiful, colorful packaging and the tins just takes me back to happier childhood times. We gotta spread the word. These people just don't know what they're missing!

Love, love these fruit cakes! There is no other like them....Been buying Claxton for 40 years. Our local Acme sold them, but I have had a hard time finding them. Thank you for the catalog.

This is a family tradition started by our Mother when we were very young. We'd fight for the last bite. I purchased the fruit cakes at Christmas and placed two in the freezer. My husband doesn't like sweets, but he's changed recently. When I came home yesterday, he asked if I had more fruit cake. I had two in the freezer and one in the fridge. His comment was "Not Anymore!" I was shocked. He went online to order more. He loves it!!!

Traditionally, we order my folks Claxton Fruit Cake for Christmas. This past December, I forgot, and my 91 year-old dad remembered! We felt so lucky to find the Claxton online store, so now we treat him several times a year! And he always reminds me when they are almost "out" of fruit cake. He loves getting his packages in the mail!

I don't know how many of the reviews on here are paid fluff, but I'm here to give my honest opinion. This is the ONLY fruitcake I will eat, and I do mean only. I've tried almost every single variety under the sun. I've had fruitcake spiced with rum, bourbon and even tequila.
I've had it with wheat flour, rye flour and rice flour. Anise stars, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. They are all disgusting bricks of dry, grainy garbage that are good for nothing than to be used as firewood. Claxton Fruit Cake is dense, moist, crunchy and sweet. There is perfect distribution of ingredients, even the nuts, INSIDE the cake, none of that lazy pecans on top crap you see everywhere else. The fruit is candied, but not so much that it loses its original flavor and texture. The only bad thing is that with the dark recipe, the molasses clashes with the fruits. It can be a bit overpowering and sits super heavy on the stomach.

We are so in love with Claxton Fruit Cake. Our first was a gift from friends...but then we were bitten by the moist, not overly sweet, wonderfully delicious cake! After dinner, we started to serve these cakes as dessert to friends, some of whom said they didn't like fruitcake. Now they ask me to bring several to their parties. Claxton made a true believer out of them. My favorite is the dark recipe, but I enjoy all of them. Claxton is the very best you can buy. I truly know this...because when someone knows you love fruitcake, you receive many and none other holds a candle to the Claxton brand. Thanks for your online convenience for ordering.

I have loved your Claxton Fruit Cake for years, and with COVID-19 I couldn't get out to purchase any, so I found you online and ordered your fruitcake at the end of last week. It arrived yesterday! Thank you for the prompt delivery and thank you even more for your delicious product. I had to eat a piece right away and when my husband asked, "How does it taste?" I replied, "Like it was just baked today!" It is so fresh and moist. I'm pretty certain I will have to make a second purchase before Christmas! I would give your fruitcake a 10 out of 10 points!
