Lght or Blonde Fruitcake

I'm looking for a lost, unique recipe. I remember most of the ingredients, but not the proportions. It's a light or blonde fruitcake. It uses flour, mace, allspice pickled watermelon rind, brandy, butter, sugar, candied orange peel, candied lemon peel, almonds, marachino cherries. Does this sound familiar to anyone????

Fruitcake for People who Don't Like Fruitcake

I'm looking for a recipe I knew some 40 years ago as "Fruitcake for People who Don't Like Fruitcake". It used only Brazil nuts, dates (maybe), walnuts and maraschino cherries and, possibly, orange juice--and was delicious.

Date Cake

And while I'm asking, <G> There was another one that was essentially a date cake over which orange juice was poured and let set until absorbed--equally delicious.

Plantation Fruitcake with Sliced Cling Peaches

Back in a 1970s Christmas/Thanksgiving issue of Family Circle or Woman's Day magazine, there was a whole section on fruitcakes. Included was a recipe for Plantation Fruitcake which used sliced cling peaches in it. I made that cake many times through the years..but when I recently moved, the recipe got lost in transit. Is there anyone out there who has this recipe? Thanks for your help!
