Fruit Cake

Único Fresco
Fruit cake is a classic European cake made with candied fruit, dried fruit, nuts, and spices, which is soaked in alcohol for a period of time. Thanks to its ingredients, this cake can last a long time. Although it requires patience to make, the result is spectacular and worth it; additionally, for this fruit cake recipe, we use Jumex® Único Fresco® blueberry grape to macerate the fruits.
