Review: Dark version is good. Good ingredients. Lots of raisins. Good flavor, fairly moist. - I tried Claxton "dark recipe" as an "alternate" fruit cake for my previous go-to, favorite fruitcake of all time (see below). Claxton "dark" is good. There is a very good amount of quality ingredients. It has more raisins than I prefer, but I prefer raisins to dough. It has a good flavor and is pretty moist. I would definitely order again and the multi-loaf price was very good. I could tell from the pictures that it had more raisins than I am used to in my preferred brand. In the pictures, the lighter version looked like it might be more dry. I do not like cake-y, bread-y, dry fruitcake. I tried only the dark version because it looked similar in the pictures to what I like. I may be wrong about the light version as I only purchased the dark recipe. The pictures are a VERY accurate representation of what I received. I was a fan of Texas Manor Fruitcake loaves in this style for decades. They came in the same rectangular loaf that Claxton offers. This is my preferred style of "loaf". I always felt that 1 lb. loaves were more moist and less "bready" than the minis or the round ones from any bakers. I have tried some brands that are awful. Claxton impressed me. My experience with Texas Manor had declined from what I remembered over the previous decades. For a few years, it just seemed like it wasn't as good as it used to be. The last time I ordered Texas Manor, it arrived moldy. That said, the moldy deliver was during the pandemic. Everything, everywhere was messed up for a few years. I may try Texas Manor again as it still has a flavor I prefer. If I can't get Texas Manor, or if they continue to disappoint, I would definitely consider Claxton "dark" a CLOSE second place for my taste. I am very glad to have a another quality "loaf" style fruitcake that is moist and good tasting. Review: Excellent Fruitcake! - I usually make my own fruitcake this time of year, but decided to buy fruitcake instead. read the reviews. Bought one order of this fruitcake. Delicious. Fruitcake is time consuming to make and costly. this was worth the price and will be doled out to happy guests and even happier hosts. ## Features - Claxton fruit cake - Over 70% Choice Fruits and Nuts by weight - Famous for Quality and Value for over 110 years ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000YGMK1W | | Best Sellers Rank | #107,233 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #25 in Bakery Fruit Cakes | | Brand | Claxton Fruit Cake | | Brand Name | Claxton Fruit Cake | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,269 Reviews | | Flavor | Mixed Fruit | | Flavour | Mixed Fruit | | Is the Item Heat Sensitive? | No | | Item Package Weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 48 Ounces | | Item weight | 48 Ounces | | Number of Items | 3 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 1996882 | | Specialty | Fruit | | UPC | 073652310025 773821996882 | | Unit Count | 473.18 Milliliters | | Unit count | 473.18 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Flavour:** Mixed Fruit - **Item weight:** 48 Ounces - **Specialty:** Fruit - **Unit count:** 473.18 Milliliters - **Number of Items:** 3 ## Images ![FRUIT CAKE Boxed - 1 lb Dark Recipe Claxton Fruitcake by Claxton Fruitcake - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81U+2XXJfeL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between your "Regular" and "Dark" recipes?** A: Our Regular recipe contains imitation rum flavoring, while our Dark recipe contains spices and molasses.
