Old-Fashioned Fresh Fruit Cake (Swedish) image

I've had this recipe for many years but didn't come around to trying it until last summer and it became my favourite cake with fruit. I used peaches that time. It is made in a old-fashioned way with a sugar sprinkled top. It makes a moist but not heavy cake. Hope you will enjoy it!

This was the perfect Christmas cake! However, I did end up putting in some more dried fruit, since I didn't think there was enough in the batter. It was a bit dense, but I think that was because I didn't let it soak in the rum long enough.
