What’s In a Fruitcake?
Fruitcakes are made up of several different ingredients including dried fruits, nuts, spices and alcohol (or apple cider). The most common fruits used in a traditional fruitcake include raisins, currants, and mixed citrus peel like orange or lemon zest. Nuts such as almonds or walnuts are another key ingredient as they provide texture and flavor to the cake. Spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg add even more flavor. Finally, alcohol such as brandy or rum can be added to give the cake an extra kick. Or you could use apple cider for a fun twist!
