We've teamed up with Miso Tasty this month to bring you the chance to win one of nine Japanese foodie hampers in celebration of their award-winning products.

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.
We don’t generally ‘feed’ it but you can ‘feed’ it a couple of times with 2 – 3 teaspoons of brandy if you like.
Here is the latest version of Delia’s recipe…

Best wishes
