To preserve a fruit cake or birthday cake, prick the base of cake all over with a fine skewer or cocktail stick. Preferably whilst the cake is still warm. Any beer/spirit placed in the uncooked cake will lose its alcohol properties during cooking. It will give a superior flavor however.
Then feed the cake your desired liquor. I myself prefer a good brandy for a Christmas cake. I usually feed a birthday cake with sherry. Feed the cake for one month prior to its intended use (occasion).
Drizzle the liquor over the base until the liquid dissipates. Do this two or three times a week over a period of one month or longer if desired.
Undecorated (IE UN iced or frosted ), a cake will keep for years wrapped up air tight. You will need a good place to hide your cake though!
A good hiding place for your cake is of paramount importance . The secret will be out. Its full of champagne cognac!
