Here is the recipe for the (quite yummy!!) Fruitcake I made that year, if anyone is interested.
FRUITCAKE
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (1 lb.) mixed candied fruit
1 cup slivered almonds or other nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 300F. Grease 9x5 inch loaf pan; line with wax paper or foil.
Gradually add sugar to shortening; cream until light & fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Combine remaining ingredients. Add to egg mixture; mix well. Pour batter into pan.
Bake 1 1/2 to 2hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool; remove from pan, peel off paper or foil and cool completely.
Wrap tightly & store in refrigerator.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

The texture might be different using butter, but go ahead of course if you like.
Shortening tends to make certain cakes lighter.
