Mine differs in that I use store bought fruit cake . . . when I get it home I make vertical holes about 1" apart . . . then fill holes with rum or brandy and let it sit for a week before devouring it.

That is an old family recipe that my grandmother passed down in the '70s. She used rum but I suspect substitutions are certainly possible. And you probably wouldn't notice.

If you purchase and then make holes in it, it becomes a Poke cake. Making sure the liquor used is the right one does require frequent testing. I bet the brandy would make it fantastic!

In my youth I had a 50cc syringe and a spinal tap needle (about 2" long). It was great for getting the brandy or rum into baked goods. The 50cc syringe got broken so I have to make do with a 10cc version.
