The monks of Assumption Abbey in Ava, Missouri, bake a dark, rich and oh-so-moist 2-pound cake from a recipe perfected by world class Chef Jean-Pierre Augé, who at one time served the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Loaded with raisins, pineapple, currants, citron, walnuts and an infusion of golden rum, the 2-pound cake ($28) is aged for four months. It really is the best fruitcake I have ever tasted.
