Use unsalted butter

In fruitcakes and in most baking recipes, you should always opt for unsalted butter. This lets you control the amount of salt in the recipe, which is crucial to its flavor. Imagine taking a bit of a super salty fruitcake. It just doesn't jive. Not to mention, the amount of salt in salted butter varies depending on its supplier. So just make sure you get unsalted to be on the safe side.
