Making a 12 inch Light Fruit Cake

Hello Angela,

I would do a 10 egg recipe for a 12 inch round cake.

I’m not absolutely sure about the timings but I would think about 4 hours

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
