Fruit Cake Hints

Fruit cake hints to help you make the very best fruit cake.

• Dried fruit makes cake batter stiff, as it soaks up the moisture from the cake. Add a tablespoon or two of water to prevent this from happening.
• Don't fill cake pans more than two thirds full.
• Always allow fruit cake to cool completely in pan after baking before removing.
• Fruit cake should age at least a month before frosting.
• Store cake in a layer of plastic wrap, with another layer of aluminum foil over top. Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature.
• Slice fruit cake with a thin, sharp knife dipped in hot water to prevent fruit from sticking.
