The earliest recipe from ancient Rome lists pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, and raisins that were mixed into barley MASH.

In the Middle Ages, honey, spices, and preserved fruits were added, and the name "fruitcake" was first used, from a combination of the words "fruit" (Latin: fructus, Old French: frui), and "cake" (Old Norse: kaka, Middle English: kechel).
