Wang Xishi Food Store Introduction
Fruit cakes contain fruit jam and mixed fruit juice, which is why they are called fruit cakes. However, different shops have different methods of preparation. For example, more modern pastry shops use orange peel and fruit juice, but the flavors are generally similar, and they always include something related to fruit. Locally, they may also be referred to as water cakes. The traditional fruit cake differs in ingredients from the modern version. The traditional fruit cake is made with high-gluten flour, vegetable oil, sweet potato puree, malt paste, fruit juice, and special sugar. It does not contain added preservatives, resulting in a shorter shelf life. In contrast, the modern fruit cake flavors cater more to younger people, with the main ingredients being orange peel, fruit juice, and flour. Additionally, preservatives are added to the outer packaging to extend shelf life.
