Weapons of mass destruction
This innocent-looking little cake is actually a fruitcake; it’s a Jamaican Black Cake from the Moosewood Book of Desserts, and, like all fruitcakes, this little 8x8 cakeform contains approximately 40,000 calories of delicious cardiovascular doom.
It’s the fourth fruitcake I’ve made this season. Yummmmmm. If this weblog goes mysteriously silent, it’s because my circulatory system has leapt out of my chest and strangled me before I can make the next one (the “next one” will not be a black cake; the Moosewood cookbook mentions an Irish whiskey cake which I think I’m going to have to try if I survive this one.)

That’s impressive caloric density per unit. I know a man who invented a car that could run on fruitcake, but the energy companies silenced him and his invention.
