Fruitcake: A Traditional Holiday Favorite
Fruitcake is a dense, sweet cake filled with dried fruits, nuts, and often spices, traditionally enjoyed during the holiday season. Known for its rich, moist texture, fruitcake is typically soaked or brushed with spirits like rum or brandy, which enhance its flavor and allow it to be stored for long periods. The result is a flavorful and festive treat that has become a classic holiday staple.
A Cake with Longevity
Fruitcake is often prepared weeks in advance and aged to deepen its flavor. Whether enjoyed as a holiday gift or centerpiece at a family gathering, fruitcake’s unique taste and texture make it a memorable treat.
