💡 Tips for a Perfect Fruit Cake:
Soak your fruits: Soak dried fruits in brandy, rum, or orange juice for several hours or overnight to enhance flavor and moisture.
Mix carefully: Fold fruits and nuts gently into the batter to prevent sinking.
Bake low and slow: Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2–2.5 hours in a greased and lined pan for a dense, moist cake.
Optional aging: Brush with brandy or rum after baking and store in an airtight container for several weeks—the flavors deepen beautifully over time.
