Claxton Fruit Cake 5-Pack — Five 1 lb Regular Recipe Loaves, Fruit & Nut Holiday Gift

Claxton Fruit Cake – 5 individually wrapped 1 lb loaves of the bakery’s regular recipe, packed with choice fruits and nuts for a traditional holiday dessert.

For more than a century Claxton Fruit Cake has been a seasonal staple. This five-pack brings the brand’s long-running regular recipe to your table: golden and natural raisins, candied fruits, nuts and a touch of imitation rum flavor, all baked into dense, sliceable loaves. Each 1 lb cake is wrapped for freshness and presented in the signature Claxton holiday carton, making it convenient for gifting, entertaining, or keeping on hand for special occasions.

What makes the Claxton regular recipe different from other fruit cakes?

The regular recipe focuses on a high proportion of fruit and nuts—over 70% by weight—so the texture is rich and fruit-forward rather than cake-heavy. Claxton balances a variety of dried and candied fruits with walnuts, pecans and almonds for a traditional, old-fashioned flavor profile.

• Over 70% choice fruits and nuts by weight for authentic density and chew.
• Blend includes raisins, cherries, pineapple, papaya and candied citrus peels.
• Mixed nuts: walnuts, pecans and almonds for crunchy contrast.
• Light imitation rum note to enhance fruit flavors without overpowering them.

How are the loaves packaged and stored for holidays or gifting?

Each 1 lb loaf is individually wrapped to preserve freshness and make portioning simple. The five loaves arrive in Claxton’s signature holiday carton, sized for shipping, storing or presenting as a gift box.

• Individually wrapped 1 lb loaves for easy sharing and long-lasting freshness.
• Signature holiday carton for attractive gifting and organized storage.
• Room-temperature stable—best kept in a cool, dry place until opened.
• Once opened, reseal or refrigerate to extend quality for several weeks.

How can I serve or use Claxton Fruit Cake in recipes?

Claxton loaves are versatile: slice thin for dessert, serve with coffee or tea, or use cubes for bread pudding and trifle layers. Their dense, fruit-rich structure holds up when soaked briefly in syrups or warmed, making them useful in both traditional and creative holiday recipes.

• Slice for classic dessert service alongside coffee or after-dinner tea.
• Warm gently or brush with a flavored syrup for added moisture and shine.
• Cube for custard-based bread puddings, trifles, or ice cream accompaniments.
• Use as hostess gifts—hand out single loaves or present the full five-pack.
