Great little gifts ,I have made them to add to Christmas hampers several times now.I would like to know if I could freeze the little cakes before adding the topping so I could prepare them earlier (it would make Xmas preparations easier).

Do these cakes keep like larger Christmas cake?CHELSEA: Hi there, yes these should keep for at least a couple of months. Best to add the topping closer to when you plan to eat them though.

Great recipe we have used as a fundraiser..we also changed flour products to make a gluten free version.But we wish that Chelsea would answer the question how long would they last in a wee cupcake box with cellphone bag as we were asked this question multiple times too.

I just love it, easy to put together, tastes great and very versatile. You can share Xmas easily with folks by giving them a cake or two. All goodness.

I have made these and will serve them, reheated with custard and cream, as Xmas puddings.

Method
Put butter, sugar, fruit, sherry, spice, baking soda and syrup into a saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring often. Allow to cool (at least 1 hour).
Heat oven to 150°C and grease muffin tray (regular or Texas muffin sized). Beat eggs and stir through cooled fruit. Sift dry ingredients then mix thoroughly with the fruit mixture and orange zest. Spoon into muffin tray then bake for 50 - 55 minutes (regular muffin tin), or 60 - 65 minutes (Texas muffin tin). Decorate once cool.
Topping : Heat syrup, mix in fruit and nuts then spoon mixture carefully on to cakes and allow to set.
Makes 16 regular muffin sized cakes or 12 Texas muffin sized cakes.
Tip: This delicious, moist cake mix is perfect for a large family sized Christmas cake - double the mixture to make 2 medium sized Christmas cakes (20cm) or 1 large, deep (26cm) + 1 very small (10cm) Christmas cake. Triple line the sides of cake tin with baking paper, ensure it extends above the sides. Remember to adjust cooking time and check cakes regularly.
