Thanks for a great recipe. Made them a couple of times. Always delicious. I use gluten free flour, works great.
Added only 220 gms of sugar . Also orange peel. Decorate with silvered almond and half cherry. Cup cske paper and baking paper cut square 6"
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.
Thermonats: i used apple juice instead of alcohol. Will they still keep in a container or do I need to freeze leftover ones? 😊
I've just made these with apple juice instead of alcohol. Would they still last 12months in an airtight container? 😊
Great easy recipe and taste great
They will keep for 12 months!! Keep in an airtight/Tupperware container
How long does it last for. Want to make it earlier for xma
I made this last week as 1 big cake and it was beautiful! Plenty of fruit and very moist. Our visitors loved it!
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
