For an even deeper flavor, soak the dried fruits in the rum and wine for at least 24 hours, or even up to a week, before baking. Line the cake pans with parchment paper for easy removal. To prevent the edges from browning too quickly, cover the cakes loosely with foil during the last 20-30 minutes of baking. This cake improves with age! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a cool, dark place for up to several weeks. The flavors will meld and intensify over time.
