Wang Xishi Food Store Introduction
Fruit cakes contain fruit jams and mixed fruit juices, which is why they are called fruit cakes. However, different shops have different methods of making them. For example, more modern pastry shops may use orange peels and fruit juices, but the flavors are generally similar and will always include something related to fruits. Locally, they are also referred to as "water cakes." The traditional fruit cakes differ in ingredients from the modern versions. The traditional fruit cake consists of high-gluten flour, vegetable oil, sweet potato puree, maltose, fruit juice, and fine sugar. They do not include added preservatives, resulting in a shorter shelf life. Modern fruit cakes cater more to the tastes of younger people, with main ingredients being orange peels, fruit juices, and flour. Additionally, preservatives are added to the packaging to extend shelf life.
