Fruit cakes are surprisingly less popular than chocolate and vanilla cakes. Probably the sweet flavor factor comes into play, which you can’t always get with fruits and berries. Often fruits cause bitterness in creams and sponge cake, which people do not particularly like.
At the same time, fruit cakes are exquisite and delicate, beautiful due to the riot of colors. Strawberries, blackberries, apples, nectarines and other berries and fruits give cakes a presentable appearance.
