Hi - I have a question about light fruit cake.
Are you supposed to keep this cake for a month before you use it like a traditional christmas cake? Thanks
A must-have in any kitchen is a good set of bakeware, and what better than Delia's own range, made in the UK to her own specification. This month, we have a full set to giveaway with our exclusive competition in association with Grana Padano.

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
