I’m going to cook the Light Glacé Fruit cake from the Delia Christmas book.
Will it keep until Christmas like a traditional one?
If not, how long will it keep stored in an airtight tin ?
Thank you.

Hello,
A light Christmas cake doesn’t mature like a rich fruit cake but as the proportion of fruit is still quite high it does keep longer than something like a cherry or Dundee cake.
We usually eat it within 3 weeks. It will freeze very well if you want to make it sooner.
Best wishes
Lindsey

I was thinking of making it now and maybe freezing it, so that’s very helpful.
Thank you.
