Wang Xishi Food Store Introduction
Fruit cakes are filled with fruit jam and mixed fruit juice, hence the name. However, different stores have different preparations; for example, more modern pastry shops may use orange peels and fruit juice, but the flavors are quite similar, and they always include fruit-related ingredients. Locally, it is also referred to as "water cake." The traditional fruit cake differs in ingredients from the modern version. The traditional fruit cake is made from high-gluten flour, vegetable oil, sweet potato puree, maltose, fruit juice, and special sugar. It contains no added preservatives, resulting in a shorter shelf life; in contrast, modern fruit cakes tend to suit the tastes of younger people, mainly using orange peels, fruit juice, and flour. Additionally, preservatives are added to the packaging to extend shelf life.
