My Recipe requires Glycerine. Will it matter if I leave it out and what does it do to the Cake??

Glycerine is sometimes used in commercial baking to prevent staling and drying out.There is no need for it in a conventional fruit cake which contains butter.

I use glycerine in all fruit cakes that I make and it helps keep your fruit cakes wonderfully moist and so delicious.

Many Thanks for all your remarks. I have tried to get it at most Supermarkets to no avail so if kiwitrish thinks I dont need to use it I think I will leave it out.
