After it is baked, fruit cake will have moisture on the outside. That, plus natural bacteria on it and in the air, cause mold to begin to grow soon thereafter. This can be slowed doen by properly storing the cake in a cool place (such as the refrigerator) and in an airtight conatiner or wrapped in tinfoil or plastic wrap.

Why did the fruitcake wrapped in tinfoil go mouldy?

The fruitcake wrapped in tinfoil went mouldy because, despite its dense and preservative-rich ingredients, it was not stored in a properly airtight container. Tinfoil can trap moisture, creating a humid environment that encourages mold growth. Additionally, if the cake was not completely cool or had any moisture on its surface when wrapped, this would further contribute to the development of mold. Proper storage in a sealed container would have helped prevent this issue.
