When we were in Saudi Arabia - where alcohol is strictly banned, my wife had another variation to sad cake - and fruit cake. She had a large glass jar full of currants ans sultanas topped up with "siddique"" the home distilled sugar spirit - similar to Bacardi, but had to be cut with water 2:1 as it was over 100% proof. The sad cake or fruit cakes were fantastic. :-)))
