Fruit cake is a classic and indulgent dessert that is typically made with a mixture of dried fruits, nuts, spices, and a rich cake batter. Fruit cake is often enjoyed during special occasions and holidays, such as Christmas and weddings. It can be served plain or decorated with icing, marzipan, or glaze. Fruit cake is known for its long shelf life, as the preserved fruits and alcohol help to keep it moist and flavorful over time. It can be enjoyed as is, or paired with a cup of tea or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat.
