This recipe reminds of fruitcake but with a lot more moisture (thank you to the Brandy!). It is gluten free, grain free, vegan, and pareve! My aunt Rabbi Michelle Goldsmith adapted it from a recipe by Doris Goodman in California Kosher*. Using this adaption, it is also a Kosher for Passover recipe!
