There's something magical about holiday traditions that have stood the test of time, and since 1910, Claxton fruit cake has been one of those special treats that families look forward to each season. This isn't just any fruit cake—it's a piece of American baking history that has been enjoyed at holiday gatherings for over a century.
Our regular recipe fruit cake captures the essence of old-fashioned baking with its perfect balance of flavors. You'll notice the golden and natural raisins mingling with candied fruits, crunchy walnuts, almonds, and pecans, all enhanced with a subtle hint of imitation rum flavor. This isn't an overpowering cake, but one where each ingredient has its moment to shine, creating a rich, complex taste that gets better with every bite.
What makes our fruit cake truly special is the commitment to quality. By weight, over 70% is "choice fruits and nuts," including pineapple, papaya, candied lemon and orange peel, and premium dried fruits. Every cake is baked and packaged in Claxton, Georgia, where our family-owned bakery has delivered consistent quality for more than 115 years. In fact, Claxton Fruit Cakes were so beloved that they were featured at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, where folks from all over the globe discovered our sweet tradition.
Each 3-pack includes three individually wrapped 1 lb loaves, making it easy to share this holiday favorite with family, friends, or colleagues. The signature holiday carton packaging adds a touch of festive charm, whether you're giving it as a gift or keeping it for your own holiday celebrations. Whether enjoyed with morning coffee, as an afternoon treat, or as the perfect ending to a holiday meal, this fruit cake brings people together just like it has for generations.
