Refrigerate for at least one week to allow the flavors to meld and the condensed milk to fully absorb into the other ingredients, creating a cohesive and flavorful cake. (7 days)
For a richer flavor, consider soaking the raisins in a bit of rum or brandy before adding them to the mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts and dried fruits to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
Ensure the vanilla wafers are finely crushed to create a smooth and even texture throughout the fruitcake.
If you prefer a firmer cake, you can add a tablespoon or two of melted butter to the mixture before shaping it.
