A blend of nature's finest fruits and nuts, Claxton Fruit Cake has enjoyed a reputation for quality and value for over 116 years. Our world famous fruit cakes, featured at the New York World's Fair in 1964-65, are available in a variety of sizes, in both Regular and Dark recipes.

“Regular” or “Dark” Recipe. The Choice is Yours.

Our “Regular” fruit cake recipe, a traditional favorite, is more popular than our “Dark” variety; however, the “Dark” cakes contain the same high quality fruit-and-nut content. The difference lies in the molasses, spices and natural, sun-ripened raisins, which give the “Dark” cakes their distinctive, darker color. Our “Regular” fruit cakes feature both golden and natural raisins along with imitation rum flavoring. The “Regular” recipe outsells the “Dark” by approximately eight-to-one, but both offer fruit cake “at its Claxton best!”
