Trivia: What type of cake does the British royal family serve at weddings?
Fruitcake
Angel food cake
Spice cake
Carrot cake
The correct answer is Fruitcake
So why is this answer correct? : This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when refrigeration wasn’t available. Fruitcake is traditionally made with rum or brandy, which helps preserve the cake. In modern times, the tradition still stands — even Prince William and Kate Middleton served fruitcake at their wedding in 2011.
