Hi Donald,
Well, what I found is a little different. The info that I found is that the "Masterpiece" fruitcake contained alcohol and was therefore not the same as the "Butter Batter."
The "Grandma's Original" is like the "Masterpiece", but not like the "Butter Batter." The "Ye Olde English" is like the "Butter Batter" and contains no alcohol.
See: Lifestyle1628
and
here: Beacon Journal
and see what Beatrice Bakery says on their website here:
Beatrice Ye Old English Fruitcake
Some say that "Jane Parker Classic Fruitcake" is like "Butter Batter."
At least one reviewer says that Swiss Colony Christmas Fruitcake is like "Butter Batter": Swiss Colony Christmas Fruitcake
I still could not find any recipe that claimed to be a copycat or a "tastes-like" recipe for Sears Butter Batter Fruitcake.
