Coffee Fruit Cake

This cake actually improves with age. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and store at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. The flavors meld and the texture becomes more cohesive as it sits. Let come to room temperature before serving.

Store the completely cooled cake tightly wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 1 week. The high sugar content and dried fruit act as natural preservatives. For extended storage, wrap in plastic wrap and then foil, and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen cake overnight in the refrigerator, still wrapped.
