Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruits. Fresh fruits will give your fruitcake a more vibrant flavor and a better texture. If you're using dried fruits, be sure to soak them in water or fruit juice before adding them to the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your fruitcake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the fruitcake into the pan firmly. This will help to prevent the fruitcake from crumbling when you cut it.
  • Wrap the fruitcake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help to keep the fruitcake moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Store the fruitcake in a cool, dry place. A pantry or a cupboard is a good option. The fruitcake can be stored for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 6 months in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

No-bake mallow fruitcake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its chewy texture, sweet flavor, and festive appearance, this fruitcake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
