I was drinking "diet" sodas well before I was diagnosed as extra-sweet. Just
something I have been accustomed to do for many moons.

I've never experienced a fruitcake like that - even at the Used Bread Store.

      Title: Light Fruitcake
 Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Booze
      Yield: 1 Cake

  1 1/2 c  Butter; softened
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      1 tb Vanilla extract
      1 tb Lemon extract
      7 lg Eggs; separated
      3 c  All-purpose flour
  1 1/2 lb Candied pineapple; red
           - and Yellow/green
      1 lb Red and green candied
           - cherries
    1/4 lb Candied citron
    1/2 lb Golden raisins
      3 c  Pecan halves
      1 c  Black walnuts; coarse
           - chopped
    1/2 c  All-purpose flour
           Additional candied fruit
           - and nuts
    1/4 c  Brandy; + add'l brandy

  Make a liner for a 10" tube pan by drawing a circle with
  an 18" diameter on a piece of brown paper. (Do not use
  recycled paper.) Cut out circle; set pan in center, and
  draw around base of pan and inside tube.

  Fold circle into eighths, having the drawn lines on the
  outside. Cut off tip end of circle along inside drawn
  line. Unfold paper; cut along folds to the outside drawn
  line. From another piece of brown paper, cut another
  circle with a 10" diameter; grease and set aside.

  Place the 18" liner in pan; grease and set aside.

  Cream butter and sugar at medium speed of an electric
  mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in flavorings. Beat
  egg yolks. Alternately add egg yolks and 3 cups flour to
  creamed mixture.

  Combine candied fruit, raisins, and nuts. Dredge with 1/2
  cup flour. Stir to coat well. Stir mixture into batter.
  Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into batter.

  Spoon batter into prepared pan. Arrange additional fruit
  and nuts on top, if desired. Cover pan with greased 10"
  brown paper circle, placing greased side down. Bake at
  250oF/120oC for 4 hours or until cake tests done.

  Remove from oven. Take off paper cover, and slowly pour
  1/4 cup brandy evenly over cake; let cool completely on
  a wire rack.

  Remove cake from pan; peel paper liner from cake. Wrap
  cake in brandy soaked cheesecloth. Store in an airtight
  container in a cool place 3 weeks.

  Pour a small amount of brandy over cake each week.

  YIELD: one 10" cake.

  NOTE: refrigerate light fruitcake for longer storage.
  Refrigeration also makes the cake slice neater/easier.
