Why This is NOT your traditional Fruit Cake
We used to call these “fruit cakes.” That’s what Mom always called them. She was known throughout the community for making the best fruit cake around. She loved to make them and give them to friends and neighbors over the holidays. So when we started baking fruitcakes with her recipe, we called them Anna Mary’s Fruit Cake.
But, we soon realized that a lot of people don’t think highly of fruitcakes and some folks would simply reject the product because of a stereotype that didn’t fit our cakes at all. If they sampled the cake, the common response was, “This isn’t a normal fruitcake!” or “I don’t like fruit cake, but this is really good!” So we stopped calling it a fruit cake and named it “Anna Mary’s Gourmet Nut Cakes.” After all, with pecans and walnuts as the top two ingredients it makes sense to identify it as a nutty product. And besides, “We’d be NUTS to call this a fruit cake!”

Absolutely delicious! I enjoy fruitcake and after reading several “Top 10 Fruitcakes” reviews, I decided to try Anna Mary’s. Filled with nuts and a nice amount of candied fruit, it is a winner! The fruitcake arrived very promptly. I would definitely purchase again.
Anna Mary’s –
Thank you so much for the kind words Teresa. We’re so happy you found us and even more happy that you were impressed with the nut cakes. We look forward to serving you again in the future with Old-Fashioned, Homestyle Goodness.

Best nut cake we have ever eaten. A neighbor who tried the nut cake said the same thing. We will definitely be ordering more.
Ken Kauffman –
Thank you Karen. Look forward to hearing from you again.

Best fruitcake we’ve ever had. But then this is really the best nut cake we have ever had. Best of both worlds how can you go wrong.

I had read about Anna Mary’s fruit cake in a rural magazine. Decided to order it, and wow, best fruit cake I’ve ever had, and my mother made some of the best back in the day. Very fast delivery.

I read your story in Arkansas Living magazine and placed an order. My mother used to be the fruitcake maker every year and I miss the loving touch of a homemade fruitcake. Your gourmet nut cake is awesome! The best fruit/nut cake I’ve ever eaten. Brings back so many fond memories of Christmas time. Thanks for cooking and sharing this recipe!

Purchased small one in Thomaston, GA at the Country Cupboard restaurant. This is delicious. What a fruit cake should be.
question: can they be frozen?
Kenneth Kauffman –
Yes, they freeze very well. Just wrap them up well and it should still be delicious when you pull it back out.

Very nice nut bread. I like mine enough to order one for my sister in Ohio.
Joyce –
Never liked fruitcake until I tried THIS fruitcake, it is delicious!

From my first slice, I knew Anna Mary’s Gourmet Nut Cake would be a tradition at my house. Crunchy and dense with nuts…….it punches all the right buttons for my protein and fiber needs and satisfies my sweet tooth. If you slice a 16 oz. loaf in 8 pieces, each slice is 247.5 HEAVENLY calories and worth every one!!!

I love your nut cake and I am a return customer. I wished I had ordered a larger size! May be the next time.
