Bake in the center of the oven @ 320F for about 75-90 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Large baking tray (8 inch) will take slightly less baking time. Let the cake cool completely.Unmold the cake and transfer to a serving platter. This fruit cake is best to serve the next day.The flavor and texture of cake improves a lot with that time.The cake may seem buttery and crumbly and less flavorful if we cut it immediately it is cooled.
