Wang Xishi Food Shop Introduction
Fruit cake contains fruit jam and mixed fruit juice, hence the name. However, different stores may have different methods of preparation. For example, more modern pastry shops may use orange peel and fruit juice, but the flavors are generally similar, and they always include something related to fruit. Locally, it is also referred to as "water cake." Traditional fruit cakes and the modern versions have different ingredients. The traditional fruit cake consists of high-gluten flour, vegetable oil, sweet potato puree, malt syrup, fruit juice, and sugar. It doesn’t contain added preservatives, resulting in a shorter shelf life; modern fruit cakes cater more to the tastes of young people, with main ingredients including orange peel, fruit juice, and flour. Additionally, preservatives are added to the packaging to extend shelf life.
