Unlike traditional fruitcakes, which are usually soaked in liquor and can be prepared weeks in advance, this version is best eaten within five days of baking.

Cooks' notes:

· Cake improves in flavor if made 1 day ahead. · Cake keeps, wrapped in parchment paper, then foil, and put in a sealed bag, at room temperature 5 days or frozen 2 weeks (bring to room temperature before serving).
