Hi I am about to make Delia's Light Christmas cake but I am wondering if it is too early to make it now. Will it be fine if kept in an air tight container or should I make it nearer to Christmas?
Kind Regards
Claire

Hello Clair,
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
