    Will definitely make these again next Christmas! So quick and easy and tasty, though mine turned out more like muffins than cakes. Thank you Thermonats for sharing.

    I've just made these with apple juice instead of alcohol. Would they still last 12months in an airtight container? 😊

  • Great little cakes. I made

    Submitted by Nellygirl on 29. November 2014 - 15:29.

    Great little cakes. I made them dairy free with nuttelex and soaked fruit in brandy. It made 6 wonderful little 2 person sized Christmas cakes which I baked in lined ceramic ramekins. These will now be a yearly Christmas tradition. Thanks

  • Like Natly, I cooked 8 of

    Submitted by KatJ on 12. December 2013 - 19:15.

    Like Natly, I cooked 8 of these in small spring form tins (9cm- across). They were so nice, I have fruit soaking in port for another half batch (4).

    i am wrapping them  with cling wrap, then clear cellophane with ribbon trim to give as small token gifts.

    fruit cakes generally keeps well if you gave liquor in them. I painted the tops with extra port, using a clean pastry brush. If you do that once a week till Xmas they will be sure to stay moist.

    Thankyou Thermonats for submitting your recipe- will definitely make again. tmrc_emoticons.)
