Because fruitcakes are dense, they bake longer and at lower temperatures than other cakes. If oven temperature is too high, fruitcakes get brown before they have baked all the way through. Follow recipe recommendation for checking doneness. Baking until completely done is important. Fruitcakes can get moldy if not baked completely.
Fruitcakes travel well.
