Wang Xi Shi Food Store Introduction
Fruit cakes are filled with fruit jam and mixed fruit juice, hence the name fruit cake. However, different shops have different methods; for example, more modern pastry shops may use orange peels and fruit juice, but the flavors are generally similar and will include items related to fruit. Locally, they may also refer to it as "water cake." The traditional fruit cake differs in ingredients from the modern version. The traditional fruit cake consists of high-gluten flour, vegetable oil, sweet potato puree, maltose, fruit juice, and fine sugar. It does not contain added preservatives, resulting in a shorter shelf life; the modern fruit cake flavors are more appealing to the younger generation, with main ingredients including orange peels, fruit juice, and flour. Additionally, preservatives are added to the packaging to extend shelf life.
