There might not have been enough moist ingredeints (oil, milk, water, eggs, ect.) in the batter. Dried fruits will absorb moisture during cooking, and most moisture is convereted into steam until the cake is cooked.

Why does boiled fruitcake not cook in middle?

Boiled fruitcake may not cook evenly in the middle due to its dense batter, which can prevent heat from penetrating thoroughly. The high moisture content from the fruit and syrup can also create a barrier, leading to uneven cooking. Additionally, if the oven temperature is too low or the cake is baked for an insufficient time, it may result in a raw center. Proper mixing, ensuring even distribution of ingredients, and adjusting baking conditions can help achieve a fully cooked fruitcake.
