Moist White Fruitcake

For years I’ve been trying to make a replica of a cake that I used to buy in the shop, but up to now without much success. This is closest that I managed to come. The cake is perfectly moist and flavorful, yet without spices of a traditional Christmas fruitcake. Rum and vanilla are dominant flavors. Try it and you won’t be disappointed!
