Fruitcake is a dense, sweet baked treat traditionally made with dried fruits, nuts, and spices, often soaked in spirits like rum or brandy to enhance its flavor and preserve its texture over time. Originating from ancient Rome, modern fruitcake is commonly associated with European holiday traditions but has become popular globally. Ingredients typically include dried cherries, raisins, citrus peel, almonds, walnuts, and sometimes candied fruits, mixed into a rich buttery or spiced batter. While nutrient-dense due to the inclusion of fruits and nuts, which provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals, it is also high in sugar and fats, making it best consumed in moderation. Alcohol-infused versions may add extra calories and are unsuitable for certain diets. Fruitcake is often appreciated for its long shelf life and festive significance, making it a cherished seasonal indulgence rather than a staple for balanced eating.
